Preston, Billy - My Country, 'Tis Of Thee Lyrics
My country, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
For this I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrims' pride
Let freedom ring
My native country, thee
Land of the noble free
Thy name I love
I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song
Let mortal tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong
Our fathers' God, to Thee
Author of liberty
To Thee we sing
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light
Protect us by Thy might
Great God, our King

Billy! Billy! Billy! Excellent job! You did it so well! This song brings tears to my eyes. Yes let freedom ring for every man, woman, boy, and girl!
If Beal Street Could Talk...
Great song - you might recognise it from the soundtrack of TWILIGHTS LAST GLEAMING.
This is a very, rare recording good luck trying to find it.

Still have my vinyl and digital copy, Billy made it sound Gospel! Fitting to share on this King National Holiday 1 20 2014!
The movie's been cleaned up and released in its full version on BluRay and DVD
Cleaned up? How so?
What movie?
My mommie would always play this... It is sooooo soulful and soooooo Billy Preston!!!
30 years is a long time...but your diligence pays off finally. Hehehe
I LOVE this SONG....Wow! To bad he was not President Obama's inaugeration. Perfect song for the moment
Thanks for posting this whole album. It is a treasure not to be missed.
I've been looking for this version of this song for 30yrs., had no idea who sang it..I heard it at the end of a movie called Twilight's Last Gleaming. Just found the movie and saw the credits- Thank you for posting this..:o)
It is curious, I also heard this song as final soundtrack of the movie Twilight's Last Gleaming, but at that time 1977, in Europe the CD was not available. I found it in US many years later. Great song !
