Free To Fly

God rested a soul today
The King of the delta blues died away
When Johnson picked up his guitar to play
In the wind you can hear him say

I’m free to fly
I’m going on my way
I’m free to fly today

His unnatural talent sort of begun
They say he played cards with the devil and won
Son House saw him with a guitar on his back
He played so hot they couldn’t put out his smoke stack

Cause I’m free to fly
I’m going on my way
I’m free to fly today
In the blue, blue sky
I will never fade away
Cause I’m free to fly today

Little Robert played for ghosts at the graveyard
He waited at the crossroad to tune his guitar
He barked like a dog with a capo on his fret
He wasn’t a guitar legend just yet

Cause I’m free to fly
I’m going on my way
I’m free to fly today
It was time to collect 

It was time to collect Time to collect from Clarksdale town
The devil’s last fair deal gone down
After he recorded his best 
Recorded his best 29 tunes
The Devil’s watch was reaching high noon

Cause I’m free to fly
I’m going on my way
I’m free to fly today
In the blue, blue sky
I will never fade away
Cause I’m free to fly today
