Already Are - Dear Reader

Marie will you come with me

I’m headed for a land that’s free

We’ll take my horse and travel North

Will you come with me?

Oh everywhere a man can go

There are some above and some below

Some before and some behind

It won’t be different this time

Oh I know but I have got to try

And I could never bear to leave you behind

Will you be my guiding star

You know that you already are

I cannot stay, I am not free

I heed a crown across the sea

And she cares not a thing for me

Will you come with me?

Is there a place a man can go

Where he might simply be alone

Elude the ambit of the law

I have sailed the seven seas

In search of land and liberty

They cannot take away from me

I will travel high and low

Until I find a place on god’s green earth to call my own

Oh everywhere a man can go

(Marie will you come with me)

There are some above and some below

(I'm headed for a land that’s free)

Some before and some behind

(We'll take my horse and travel North)

It won’t be different this time

Oh I know but we have got to try

And I could never bear to stay behind

(And I could never bear to leave you behind)

Will you be my guiding star

You know that you already are
