When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main Drag

you took my heart misery

you taught me blues

well, I got a lot of patience, baby

That's a lot of patience to lose

I'm crying

I'm mad at my country

Now I've been treated bad

when I was a freeport and you were the main drag



broken blues

I just don't know

Little bird, flying by my window,

Take me when you go

I'm crying

I'm looking at these times

and it's bound to drive me mad

when I was a freeport and you were the main drag



what did I do?

everybody's putting me down

I keep runnin'

but the law kept comin' around



So fare thee well, happiness

'cause I got blues

and I got a lot of patience, baby

That's a lot of patience to lose

I'm a woman

waiting for due time

Now I've been treated bad

when I was a freeport and you were the main drag
