Lyrics

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 looking at these times and its 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 running but the law kept coming around

So fare thee well, happiness, cause I've got blues
And I got a lot of patience baby, that's a lot of patience to lose
I'm a woman and this is my due time, I've been treated bad
When I was a freeport and you were the main drag
