One dyin’ and a buryin’, one dyin’ and a buryin’ --
Some cryin’, six carryin’ me, I wanta to be free.
(Spoken)
Oh-ho, I wanta be free, free from all this heartache and regret,
And free from pinin’ for the love I can’t forget.
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate,
Made my life a prison from which there’s only one escape --
That’s...
One dyin’ and a buryin’, one dyin’ and a buryin’ --
Some cryin’, six carryin’ me, I wanta to be free.
One dyin’ and a buryin’, one dyin’ and a buryin’ --
Some cryin’, six carryin’ me... I wanta to be free.
