Pigeon Song - America

Well, I had me a pigeon

By the name of Fred

But I done shot him

In the head

Had me a railroad

Down on the ridge

But I done blowed up

The bridge

Had me a dog

He was my best friend

But to him

I done put an end

Had me a farm

Sittin' pretty on the hill

But if you look

You’ll see it ain’t there still

I don’t know why I done it

Honest, it ain’t like me

But I ain’t sad now I done it

'Cause a baby boy has got to be free
