nora jane struthers - he's a free man lyrics
i was a sharecropper’s son until my dad up and run
leave me and ma to care for the five little ones
just scr_ping by for years, sweating eight months in the fields
praying every night that the kids won’t have to feel
like their daddy didn’t love them
these hard times just got the best of him
the way they cried, now he’s a free man
no doubt we’ll never see his face again
when winter comes around from the way to the next town
to the white_washed clabbered schoolhouse that the apple trees surround
thinking of the little ones and the man i’d like to become
tried to show them what it means to stick to your guns
because their daddy may have loved them
these hard times got the best of him
the way they cried, now he’s a free man
no doubt we’ll never see his face again
for years, four score and done, crops withered in the sun
i signed up for the army even though i’m too young
but every paycheck i’ll mail back, add each letter to the stack
proof that i’m still with you and i’ll never leave like dad
because our daddy may have loved them
these hard times got the best of him
the way they cried, now he’s a free man
no doubt we’ll never see his face again
