Standard (EADGBE)

Off and to the right, the fade of the light, I'm watching the sun go down

Over the fields, we see the one,

that little girl to make, my heart pound (yes she do)

But don't you know that that's forbidden, son you better get rid of them

ideas, they'll lead to a hangin'

When I was young You know that I believed

In Santa Claus, true love, and freedom

Pushin' back the fear, sneakin' off to see her, and we'd dream to leave

this land. Then her family would say, boy ya better stay away,

if your daddy finds out you're a dead man

Leave me to die, my way my time, how can a man Lord chain a man

When I was young You know that I believed

In Santa Claus, true love, and freedom

No more Santa Claus, true love, and freedom
