Iron Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down lyrics

When the men take me to the devil tree

I will be free and shining like before

Papa don't tell me what I should've done

She's the one who begged me

"Take me home"

When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand

I will swing free until they cut me down

Papa don't tell me what I could've done

She's the one who begged me

"Take me home"

When the sea takes me like my mother's arms

I will breathe free as any word of God

Papa don't tell me what you would've done

She's the one who begged me

"Take me home"
