From the Album "Valleys of Neptune" released by Legacy on the March 9, 2010.

The majority of the tracks featured on Valleys of Neptune were recorded in early 1969, while Hendrix was experimenting with songs for his unfinished fourth album, following the successful release of Electric Ladyland in September 1968. Numerous different versions have been released, both officially and otherwise, and the majority of the 'previously unreleased' recordings present on the 2010 album have been released in one form or another before, albeit sometimes in inferior quality or different versions.

The album artwork is based on a painting by Hendrix himself in 1957. "He went through a phase doing watercolors at school and this was one of the 110 drawings of his that our father kept. When I saw this one he did in 1957, it screamed 'Valleys of Neptune' to me so we knew we'd use it for this project," said his sister, Janie. The album artwork is a mix of his painting and a Linda McCartney photograph of him with a blue tint.

Lyrics:
---------
Everyday in the week I'm in a different city
If I stay too long, the people try to pull me down, you know what i mean?
They talk about me like a dog, talkin' about the clothes I wear
But they don't do realize they're the ones who's square, baby

Hey!
And that's why
Lord, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta move on
Hey!

I said
Stone free, yeah, as do as I please, baby
Stone free, I said to ride the breeze
Stone free, yeah, I can't stay
I got to got to got to get away
Hey!
Oh, turn my loose baby

Listen to this, what i say
A woman here a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't do realize that is so easy to break, baby
Yeah but sometimes I
Yeah but sometimes I can feel my heart and kinda gettin' hot
That's when i got to move, before I get caught
So can't you understand, that's why

Lord, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta move on
Hey!

I said
Stone free, yeah, as do as I please, baby
Stone free, I said to ride the breeze
Stone free, yeah, I can't stay
I got to got to got to get away
Hey!
So, relax your breath

Woo, got to be free, got to be free,
Got to be free, got to be free
Got to be free, got to be free

Do as i please and ride the breeze
Stone free, yeah, ride the breeze, baby
Stone free, do as i please
Stone free, Yeah, I can't stay
Stone free, oh, I'm down baby right now
Stone free, look turn over there
Hey!

Stone free, I'm go on down the highway, baby
Stone free, woo
