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
