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-da-da-da

de-de-de.

I've found my freedom

a paradise meant for me

I've found my freedom

da-da-da-da

de-de-de.



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...
