I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.

I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom, I was a stranger in a strange land.

I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.

The Lord who told me to take care of my people meant me to do it just as long as I live, and so I did what he told me.
