Maude Maggart - Lost Liberty Blues lyrics

As you fly away on your holiday Take a last look at me I'm an innocence Public momument Called the statue of liberty And I am a slave in the home of the brave and land of the free Now once my country France had a yank romance So they gave me to uncle sam But he treats me so That I no longer know what im meant for or who I am Hes made a mess of my chance of success And I'm not worth a damn I've got those lost liberty blues Lost liberty blues Where a pair of handcuffs on my wrist And pad locks on my shoes Can you expect me to be gay Or ask me to enthueze While reformers lead em from the battle cry of freedom To the lost liberty Liberty blues
