- Pigeon Song Lyrics / with translationsWell, I had me a pigeon
By the name of Fred
But I done shot him
In the head
Had me a railroad
Down on the ridge
But I done blowed up
The bridge
Had me a dog
He was my best friend
But to him
I done put an end
Had me a farm
Sittin' pretty on the hill
But if you look
You'll see it ain't there still
I don't know why I done it
Honest, it ain't like me
But I ain't sad now I done it
'Cause a baby boy has got to be free
By the name of Fred
But I done shot him
In the head
Had me a railroad
Down on the ridge
But I done blowed up
The bridge
Had me a dog
He was my best friend
But to him
I done put an end
Sittin' pretty on the hill
But if you look
You'll see it ain't there still
I don't know why I done it
Honest, it ain't like me
But I ain't sad now I done it
'Cause a baby boy has got to be free
