The Lyrics

On Rio Grande's scorching banks I stand
I wish that I could fly
To USA's inviting land
Where free benefits lie

I am bound for the freedom land
I am bound for the freedom land
Oh who will jump the fence with me
I am bound for the freedom land

I wish that I could speak English
Might help with my green card
But I don't need to be legal
For that is much too hard

I am bound for the freedom land
I am bound for the freedom land
Oh who will jump the fence with me
I am bound for the freedom land

I'll find someone to hire me
And pay me very low
I'll take the money that I get
And send some to Mexico

I am bound for the freedom land
I am bound for the freedom land
Oh who will jump the fence with me
I am bound for the freedom land

My cousin's now a citizen
But I do not believe
The government will ever get
Around to making me leave

I am bound for the freedom land
I am bound for the freedom land
Oh who will jump the fence with me
I am bound for the freedom land
