Cecilia (Live) Song Lyrics

In the south of Alabamy, near the Gulf of Mexico
On the banks of old Tombigbee
Walks an old, lost forgotten soul
He was once a man of virtue
Sadly less a man of means
Said, Cecilia I won't let them hurt you
I'll set you free, I'll set you free
Cause my love for you is stronger than these plantation walls
It howls at the moon at night
It don't know about the law
And it is at your beg and call
I said, Cecilia don't you cry
By and by, Cecilia don't you cry
She was born into subjection
She was born without a say
He was her first and only revelation
