In making this collection, however, I am indebted to the authors of the "Liberty Minstrel," and "the Anti-Slavery Melodies," But the larger portion of these songs has never before been published; some have never been in print.
To all true friends of the Slave, the Anti-Slavery Harp is respectfully dedicated,
W. W. BROWN.
BOSTON, JUNE, 1848.
SONGS.
HAVE WE NOT ALL ONE FATHER?
AM I NOT A MAN AND BROTHER?
AIR—Bride's Farewell.
Am I not a man and brother?
Ought I not, then, to be free?
Sell me not one to another,
Take not thus my liberty.
Christ our Saviour, Christ our Saviour,
Died for me as well as thee.
Am I not a man and brother?
Have I not a soul to save?
Oh, do not my spirit smother,
Making me a wretched slave;
God of mercy, God of mercy,
Let me fill a freeman's grave!
