Go Down Emanuel Road Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy 

Got to break that stone 

Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy 

Got to break that stone 

Well, the moon still in the sky 

An' the sleep still in you eye 

But when you hear me sing 

You better make dem hammers ring 

Wake up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy 

Got to break that stone 

Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy 

Got to break that stone 

Well, you had a big time last night 

And some of your heads are tight 

But when I call this roll, please Lord 

I don't want to miss a soul
