Sweet Babe

Rooster crowing at the break of dawn
Stole me from a dream
Where I was the king of England babe
There you were my queen
Sitting in the shade of the hollering tree
Your long hair blowing wild and free
But your gone baby now you've been gone
A long old time

My best friend said "Listen boy,
She's never coming back
You've still got better days to come
You gotta hold on to your hat"
Im a shadow of the man that I used to be
Come back here and get a hold of me
Cos your gone baby now you've been gone
A long old time

People see me just a walking around
With my head inside my hands
I here them whisper along the way
"There goes a broken man'
You changed my life like none before
Left me like a lion with a thorn in my paw
Cos your gone baby now you've been gone
A long old time

Sometimes I think and wish to myself
We never met
In a life thats gone from bad to worse
Your my only regret
I curse the day I set eyes on you
Nobody warned me what a woman could do
When she's gone baby now you've been gone
A long old time

Standing at the cross roads early doors
Trying to choose my road
The north bound signs all covered in mud
To the south, let her go
The very last thing she said to me
If you love somebody you gotta set them free
Now your gone baby you've been gone
A long old time

Born to Be Free

Born To Be Free

King of the Wasteland is the second home studio single by Jake Morgan. A menacing combo of country and blues drives this bad luck tale of a trip to the wasteland, told with Dylan-esque verbosity and precision. Released on 9th March 2021.

King of The Wasteland

A well traveled troubadour with a gift for storytelling, Jake Morgan is carrying the torch of British folk for a new generation. 
The singer/songwriter first attracted attention for his 2018 debut ‘Raw Material.’ The sparsely arranged album showcased his gruff, world-weary voice, and vivid, bittersweet lyricism. He went on to expand his sonic palette on 2020’s ‘From The Ground Up,’ incorporating electric guitars and subtle percussion while maintaining the intimate character of his early work. 
Since then, he has been in a state of constant musical growth, following in the footsteps of Bob Dylan and Richie Havens while carving his own path. In addition to being a mainstay of the UK folk-revival scene, his touring has taken him across Europe and as far as Australia and Thailand as he continues to share his humble, deeply moving songs with an ever-growing fanbase.
