[Chorus]
Bird in a cage, love
Bird in a cage
Beggin' for freedom
And I'm dyin' a slave
Dyin' a slave

[Verse]
I own the mountains
Valleys so low
All I can feel dear
Is the cold rain and snow
Cold rain and snow

Turn your? back home dear
Or to whom? you please
I can't forget you
Darlin', I can't get free
I can't get free

[Chorus]
I'm a bird in a cage, love
Just a bird in a cage
Beggin' for freedom
And I'm dyin' a slave
Dyin' a slave
[Verse]
Build up your walls, love
Build them so high
Only let me see you
Darlin', as you pass by
As you pass by

[Chorus]
For I'm a bird in a cage, love
Little bird in a cage
Beggin' for freedom
And I'm dyin' a slave
Dyin' a slave
