When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main D

Laura Nyro

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 where 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 running

But the law kept coming 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
