John Wesley Harding - Kiss Me, Miss Liberty lyrics

In Westminster, the bell fell down

Took three hundred years to touch the ground

Fall leaves drifted by and turned brown

A foreign plane was downed

Dogs came running from their cold dog pound

They leapt through the fence and ran downtown

And the convicts turned their ship around

And they were homeward bound

Kiss me, Miss Liberty

Take me to bed

So I can be free as well

Not just in my head

Kiss me, Miss Liberty

Lift me alone

Unchain my heavy heart

Fill me with love

Miss Liberty, Kiss me

And the slave were saved from their chain-gang

Knives cut men down just about to hang

Lost love returned just like a boomerang

And it was I who sang

Kiss me, Miss Liberty

Take me to bed

So I can be free as well

Not just in my head

Miss Liberty, kiss me

Freedom, show me to your foreign shore

Lay me in your arms at your front door

I can't face confinement anymore

I won't be ignored

Kiss me, Miss Liberty

Take me to bed

So I can be free as well

Not just in my head

Kiss me, Miss Liberty

Lift me above

Unchain my heavy heart

Fill me with love

Miss Liberty, Kiss me
