This song is written by Tom Paxton, but he had never sung it. The late Mitchell Trio (Denver, Boise & Johnson) sang this song in some concerts, such as The Philadelphia Folk Festival Concert & The Bistro Inn Concert.
If you had me in shackles on a dungeon floor Cold iron shackles and a cast-iron door A battalion of troopers just watching me I'd still be free
If you had me on an island in the Spanish Main In a Spanish fortress in a jungle of rain A squadron of cruisers just watching me I'd still be free
Your shackles couldn't change my mind Couldn't make me be what you want me to Your power couldn't make me blind The way it's blinded you
If you had me in a tower with a marble wall One window above me, no stairs at all If you needed a ladder just to check on me I'd still be free
Your shackles couldn't change my mind Couldn't make me be what you want me to Your power couldn't make me blind The way it's blinded you
If you had me in shackles on a dungeon floor Cold iron shackles and a cast-iron door A battalion of troopers just watching me I'd still be free I'd still be free I'd still be free
