You've got your grip to leave me, you're going to leave
your home today
You've got your grip to leave me, you're going to leave
your home today
But drop it for a minute and listen to what I've got to
say
You can fly up high, you can spread your feathers all
around
You can fly up high, you can spread your feathers all
around
But when you get in trouble, you got to fall back to the
ground
Some fools born with riches, some were born with
pain
Some fools born with riches, some were born with
pain
But I'm here to tell you, when you leave me I leaves
the same
I talk because I'm stubborn, I sing because I'm free
I talk because I'm stubborn, I sing because I'm free
My man has gone and left me, bound for Memphis
Tennessee
