"Free The People" - Sherbet (1971)
Written and sung by Barbara Keith (a much slower version) in September 1970

Also sung by Delaney&Bonnie (a little bit faster) in June 1970, and covered by Barbara Streisand for the album "Stoney End", released in February 1971.

Then came Sherbet's performance featuring a falsetto vocal by Darryl Braithwaite, a trombone/tuba (and a much faster beat) October 1971

Live performance is Strathfield South High School in Sydney

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Verse 1 (as sung on Barbara Keith version)
Saw your light from the street
As I passed by the other day
I was scared, my knees were weak
Forgot what I had come to say

Chorus

Verse 2 (Sherbet version only)
Some men walk on the water
Everybody lookin' on
Gettin' lonely was his daughter
He would phone first and now I'm gone

Chorus

Verse 3
If you see me in some dark alley
Lookin' like I don't belong
You can take me to a green valley
There I'll be singin' that same song

Chorus
