Thatâs why Iâm marching, yes, Iâm marching,
Marching down freedomâs road.
Ainât nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me,
From marching down freedomâs road.
Hand me my gun, let the bugle blow loud,
Iâm on my way with my head a-proud,
One objective Iâve got in view,
Is to keep a hold of freedom for me and you
Thatâs why Iâm marching, yes, Iâm marching,
Marching down freedomâs road.
Ainât nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me,
From marching down freedomâs road.
Ought to be plain as the nose on your face,
Thereâs room in this plan for every race,
Some folk think that freedom just ainât right,
Those are the very people I want to fight.
Thatâs why Iâm marching, yes, Iâm marching,
Marching down freedomâs road.
Ainât nobody gonna stop me, nobody gonna keep me,
From marching down freedomâs road.
Now, Hitler may rant, Hirohito may rave,
Iâm going after freedom if it leads me to my grave.
Thatâs why Iâm marching, yes, Iâm marching,
Iâm marching down freedomâs road.
United we stand, divided we fall,
Letâs make this land safe for one and all.
Iâve got a message, and you know itâs right,
Black and white together unite and fight.
Thatâs why Iâm marching, yes, Iâm marching,
Marching down freedomâs road.
Ainât no fascists gonna stop me, no Nazis gonna keep me,
From marching down freedomâs road
