When the men take me to the devil tree
I will be free and shining like before
Papa, don't tell me what I should have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
Papa, don't tell me what I could have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of God
Papa, don't tell me what you would have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
I will be free and shining like before
Papa, don't tell me what I should have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
Papa, don't tell me what I could have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of God
Papa, don't tell me what you would have done
She's the one, she's the one who begged me
Take me
Take me home
