Rainbow round my shoulder

"Rainbow round my shoulder, wings on my on my feet."

I love quotes and have found a great book of quotes, FPA's Book of Quotations by Franklin Pierce Adams @ 1952 by the Funk & Wagnalls Company, New York.

Writing makes me feel like there is a 'rainbow round my shoulder, wings on my feet' because with my imagination and a pen I can go anywhere, see anything, and do anything.

Adams cites the author "unknown" and the source as "American Negro Song" for :
"Oh, Lord, I want to be free, want to be free;
Rainbow round my shoulder, wings on my feet."
