When the men take me to the devil tree
I will be free and shining like before
papa don't tell me what I should've done
she's the one who begged me,
'take me home'
When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
papa don't tell me what I could've done
she's the one who begged me,
'take me home'
When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of god
papa don't tell me what you would've done
she's the one who begged me,
'take me home'
