I’M AS FREE AS THE BREEZE
(Rex Griffin / Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb - 1962


I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing the blues in the rain

You use to have me begging down on my knees
But you’ll never see me there again
You had a bed of clover when you stayed with me
But now you’re on the outside and I’ve got the key

And I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing blues in the rain

Ah Leon and Buddy
Instrumentals

I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing the blues in the rain

You use to have me begging down on my knees
But you’ll never see me there again
I’m getting tired of caring all this heavy load
I’m tearing up your playhouse, so get on down the road

And I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing the blues in the rain

Let’s hear you again boys
Instrumentals

Ah here’s Pretty Boy Floyd on the piano now
Instrumentals

And I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing the blues in the rain

You use to have me begging down on my knees
But you’ll never see me there again
I use to pay the bills and let you run about
But now your little gravy train had done pulled out

And I’m As Free As The Breeze
Happy as you please
While you’re singing the blues in the rain
While you’re singing the blues in the rain
