When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main Drag - Laura Nyro

Written by：L. 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
