Well, i had me a pigeon
by the name of fred
but i done shot him
in the head
Had me a railroad
down on the ridge
but i done blowed up
the bridge
Had me a dog
he was my best friend
but to him
i done put an end
Had me a farm
sittin' pretty on the hill
but if you look
you'll see it ain't there still
I don't know why i done it
honest, it ain't like me
but i ain't sad now i done it
'cause a baby boy has got to be free
