Gil Turner’s simple, haunting folk ballad became a classic of the Civil Rights Movement, with famous recordings by Judy Collins and Joan Baez.
There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking
There's a voice, within me saying
Carry on, carry it on
They will tell their empty stories
Send their dogs to bite our bodies
They will lock us up in prison
Carry on, carry it on
When you can't go on any longer
Take the hand, hand of your brother
Every victory brings another
Carry it on, carry it on
Carry on, carry it on
