I don't see the theme of the cross here, but that's just me. I think that this is a man singing about his imminent excecution for the murder of or crime against a young woman. He keeps saying, "She begged me to take her home" making it her fault somehow. He's not really free persay, but will literally be swinging free on the wind after he is hung.
