Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Mark O'Connor violin, Tony Rice guitar, Jerry Douglas dobro, Sam Bush mandolin, Mark Schatz bass and Bela Fleck banjo performing "Freeborn Man" at the Merlefest early 1990's.
Freeborn Man
Lyrics
"Well, I was born in the Southland
Twenty-some odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was four years old
I’m a free born man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
And every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
I got a gal in Cincinnati
Got a woman in San Antone
I always loved the girl next door
But anyplace is home
I got me a worn-out guitar
I carry an old tote sack
I hocked it about two hundred times
But I always get it back
You may not like my appearance
May not like my song
May not tike the way I talk
But you like the way I’m gone"
