Redemption Song   (Bob Marley and the Wailers) - SNOW 22102   (Paddy Böhnke)

 

 (Opener): CIRCLE LEFT:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I - Sold I to the merchant ships

The men star right - go one time - Left allemande and weave

But my hand was made strong - By the hand of the Almighty

We forward in this generation - Triumphantly

 

 

 (Figures):  Heads Square Thru and roll it four now - Dosado for me

Swing Thru and then - Spin The Top - move up a Right And Left Thru

Square Thru go three hand ‘round now

Swing and Promenade her home

Some say it's just a part to fit - We've got to fulfill the book

 

 

 (Middle Break, Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Won't you help to sing - These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have - Redemption songs

allemande LEFT and weave

Redemption songs - These songs of freedom?

'Cause all I ever have - Redemption songs

 

 

 (Tag): All I ever had - These songs of freedom

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit

 

But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

 

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

 

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfil the book

 

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

 

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Woah, have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time

 

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book

 

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
