the bough branch sways
in the wind it's shaken
everybody learns
it's out of dust we were once taken
to dust we shall return
naked I came from my mama's womb
it's naked I'll return some day
the lord god gives this life to live
man he takes away

free free at last
from the thieving and the running
and the shotgun blast
free free at last
free to rest my wicked head
in the long cool grass
free at last

man brought sin into the world
death it came with sin
blood flows red and it stabs with pain
fists and clubs they break the skin
trouble and death await the wicked
trouble and death await the blessed
the wicked will see their troubled wandering
the blessed will lay themselves down to rest

free free at last
from the thieving and the running
and the shotgun blast
free free at last
free to rest my wicked head
in the long cool grass
free at last

the bough branch sways
in the wind it's shaken
everybody learns
it's out of dust we were once taken
to dust we shall return
naked I came from my mama's womb
it's naked I'll return some day
the lord god gives this life to live
and man he takes away

free free at last
from the thieving and the running
and the shotgun blast
free free at last
free to rest my wicked head
in the long cool grass
free at last
