(I’m a) Freeborn Man
©2001 by Frank Gayer Martin


All this rain pouring down — it doesn’t bode well
It’s been coming on, coming a long, long spell
After sitting ‘round, sitting ‘round, I gotta go
I gotta meet my baby tonight in old Thibodeaux

I’m dogging it, dogging it as fast as I can
If I make it over, baby I’m a freeborn man

River’s running high, river’s running red
And it doesn’t look any better on up the road
If that red mud flows, they’re gonna close the road
If I don’t see my baby, I’m gonna explode

I’m driving by little white crosses on the side
On day like today it’s no surprise someone died
If I die in a ditch put a marker at my head
“Good love killed him, he’s better off dead”
