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

Make my heart pound

But don't you know that that's forbidden

Son you better get rid of them ideas

They'll lead to a hangin'

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

Yo 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 chain a man

When I was young you know that I believed

In Santa Claus true love and freedom

Those days are gone might as well leave them be

No more Santa Claus No more Santa Claus

True love and freedom
