lyrics

The Town of Sugar Grove

Leave at night when the wind is still
Leave when the clouds are hanging low.
I have heard you'll find safe harbor
In the town of Sugar Grove – Sugar Grove

At the end of Big Tree Road
sits a woman by her door
She is sewing freedom clothes,
her fingers they are strong and sure.

Comes a knocking in the night
a fugitive from slavery
Ttrembling in the bitter cold.
“Oh mistress, have pity on me”
“Doctor, doctor”! she cried. “
Help me heal this dying soul
And we will put him back on the road to freedom
After we have made him whole.”

Leave at night when the wind is still
Leave when the clouds are hanging low.
I hear you can find safe harbor
In the town of Sugar Grove – Sugar Grove

There within her Mansion fine
The Ladies Fugitive Society
Meets each week to sew
For those who would be free.
There within her Mansion Fine
She serves Frederick Douglas tea
He says ‘Thank you madam
for your aid in time of need.

Here in Sugar Grove
we can make the whole world see
There is no North, South, East or West
There is only equality

In the town of Sugar Grove
Aacross the Pennsylvania hills
Is a woman you should know,
Bbrave of heart and strong of will
Go to Sugar Grove
quietly before the dawn.
You may find she’s waiting for youher patiently waiting.
Giving strength to carry on.

Leave at night when the wind is still
Leave when the clouds are hanging low.
I hear you can find safe harbor
In the town of Sugar Grove


Ask for Cythia Catlin Miller in the town called Sugar Grove
