Free Ophelia's Boy Lyrics

Ophelia's boy's been locked up since the hate got real

Free her baby boy

He didn't steal, didn't kill or waver, but was brave and getting braver

Free her baby boy

Now the good ole law's intact but her boy ain't coming back

Free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy

Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice

Not a reason for the treason, and the law went along for the ride

Free her baby boy

Ophelia's boy's been chained in a cage for two months

Free her baby boy

She's got the grace of the Lord but that ain't helping too much

Free her baby boy

And if righteous is the power, we can light her darkest hour

Free her baby boy

But if innocence is the sin, her boy will never rise again

Free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy

Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice

The mother of a sucker the world blamed for its sins

Free her baby boy

Now her boy is homeward bound, what's lost will soon be found

Free her baby boy

And she'll never kneel to the hound who shot her baby down

Free her baby boy

She's lived the red, white, black and blue

What do them colors mean for you

Sing it again, said she's lived that red, white, black and blue

What does color mean to you

Free Ophelia's boy

Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice

The law will change with the wind so break them rules, it's not a sin

And free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy

Born the jack of spades, a loaded dice

She's the mother of a man that the law came to blame

But we'll turn the tables babe

Have the law scared and running some day

Free her only son, won't you free him today

Free her baby boy
