I’m going down by the riverside
Gonna wash away my troubles
In the noon day tide the tax man’s coming
And he wants his dues
But the only way to catch me
Is to wet his shoes

I’ve found my freedom
A paradise meant for me
I’ve found my freedom da-de da-dn de-de dee
I’ve found my freedom
A paradise meant for me
I’ve found my freedom da-de da-dn de-de dee

Hold my head up and look to the sun
I’ve found me a place
Where I don’t have to run no-one to find me
In my restricted zone
’Cause I’ve left my address
As a place unknown

I’ve found my freedom
Remember all you people
If you’re tired and down
You’ve got to leave the city
Or you’re sure to drown
Make a bid for freedom
And you’re sure to find
You’ve found yourself the good life
And your peace of mind i’ve found my freedom
