Die Gedanken sind Frei  (text and music: anonymous)


Dean Engelhard writes in his complete collection of cohen songs (ftp.uwp.edu
/pub/music/lyrics) that Cohen had performed this german folk song.
It was never released on CD (as much as I know).

The song was written between 1780 and 1800, at the time of the French
Revolution.

 Possible accompaniment  patterns:
