I'm going down by the riverside Gonna wash away my troubles In the noonday tide The taxman's coming and he wants his dues But the only way to catch me Is to wet his shoes I found my freedom A paradise meant for me I found my freedom, I found my freedom Da dada 'n dee dee dee Hold my head up and look to the sun 'Caus I left my address as a place unknown Remember all the people Living tired and down You got to leave the city Or you're sure to drown Make a goog for freedom And be sure to find You find yourself a good life And your peace of mind
