Listen while I'll tell the hard luck story

'bout a man named Jack McDuff

He believed in the God and the glory

But he just wasn't tough enough

I believe in the freedom song

Long live liberty!

I believe in the freedom song

And I'll choose my own destiny

Well they took him and they beat him

Underneath that old hanging tree

Saying, "Jack, you must die"

"What will your last words be?"

Jack, he hung his head back

"Long live liberty!"

"I believe in the freedom song"

"Doesn't matter what you do to me"

With a rope around his neck they left him hanging

High from that old hanging tree

On her knees his wife was screaming

"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy"

I believe in the freedom song

Long live liberty!

I believe in the freedom song

Doesn't matter what you do to me

@bosquedehormas i think this came from an old western movie of the 1940s... at least the idea

correct... but who is hanging jack from the tree?.... it is open to your own interpretation Phillip Lynott was a master of that type of writing... the power of imagination

I love how this song sounds really happy and jolly, but when you listen to the lyrics it's actually really dark.
