Laura Nyro - When I Was a Freeport and You Were the Main Drag lyrics

You took my heart, misery. You taught me blues. Well I got a lot of patience baby, that's a lot of patience to lose. I'm crying. I'm mad at my country, now I've been treated bad when I was a freeport and you were the main drag. Broken blues, I just don't know. Little bird flying by my window, take me when you go. I looking at these times and its bound to drive me mad. When I was a freeport and you were the main drag. What did I do? Everybody's putting me down, I keep running but the law kept coming around. So fare thee well, happiness, cause I've got blues and I got a lot of patience baby, that's a lot of patience to lose. I'm a woman and this is my due time, I've been treated bad. When I was a freeport and you were the main drag.
