[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm mad at my country
Now I've been treated bad
When I was a freeport
And you were the main drag

[Verse 2]
Broken blues
I just don't know
Little bird flying by my window
Take me when you go
I'm crying

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
What did I do?
Everybody's putting me down
I keep running
But the law kept coming around, yeah

[Verse 3]
So fare thee well, happiness
'Cause I've got blues, oh
And I got a lot of patience baby
That's a lot of patience to lose
I'm a woman

[Chorus]
Waiting for due time
Now I've been treated bad
When I was a freeport
And you were the main drag, yeah
