Additional Details

I'm on my way to Canada a freeman's rights to share.
The cruel wrongs of Slavery I can no longer bear;
My heart is crush'd within me so while I remain a slave,
That I'm resolved to strike the blow for Freedom or the Grave!

O Great Father! do thou pity me.
And help me on to Canada where the panting slave is free!
