As I was goin’ down the road (oh Mona) Tired team and a heavy load (oh Mona) Cracked my whip and the leaders sprung (oh Mona) The horse run away with the wagon tongue (oh Mona) (You shall be free oh lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, When the good Lord sets you free) 
I came to the river and I couldn’t get across (oh Mona) Jumped on a darky and I thought he was a horse (oh Mona) The horse wouldn’t go and I sold it for a hoe (oh Mona) The hoe wouldn’t dig and I sold it for a pig (oh Mona) (You shall be free oh lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, When the good Lord sets you free) 
The pig wouldn’t squeal and I sold it for a wheel (oh Mona) The wheel wouldn’t run and I sold it for a gun (oh Mona) The gun wouldn’t shoot and I sold it for a boot (oh Mona) The boot wouldn’t wear and I sold it for a bear (oh Mona) (You shall be free oh lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, When the good Lord sets you free) 
Behind the barn down on my knees (oh Mona) I thought I heard a chicken sneeze (oh Mona) He sneezed so hard with the whooping cough (oh Mona) He sneezed his head and tail right off (oh Mona) (You shall be free oh lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, When the good Lord sets you free)
