Oh no don't you put me in that box
|
you know what you can do with those locks
|
bet your life I'll come crawling out again
|
you'll have to deal with me then
|
you'll hear me in the wind.
|
|
I been on the other side of the Blue Ridge
|
seen the Shenandoah rolling there
|
I stepped off the mountain's edge
|
just to climb the golden stair
|
I seen the streets up there
|
|
I been on the mount transfiguration
|
been there with my ma and my pa
|
on the mountain of commandment
|
I been handed down the law
|
you should have seen what I saw.
|
|
I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
|
caught like a thief with a lamb
|
you know those stars they can cast a spell
|
I been caught with red hands.
|
|
I scaled the mountains skiied the valleys
|
I've done the highs and the lows
|
I don't feel like work today
|
hell I won't go.
|
Bess I won't go.
|
|
Just let me at their locks
|
we should all be free
|
oh Bess I swear I'll call
|
when I'm free from me
|
we should all be free.
