Oh, Mama
When I was a barmaid you were my mead
When I was a brave knight you were my steed
When I was so lonesome I wanted to cry
you came to me in the night
You cried oh mama sing me a love song
pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
and ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking
right under my feet just put me to sleep
When I was a sailor you were my land
Always receding nowhere to stand
And when I fell over you were the wind you picked me up on your tail
You cried oh mama sing me a love song
pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
and ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking
right under my feet just put me to sleep
When I was a farmer you were my rain
When I was your lover you were my pain
When all the fireflies that we trapped in jars escaped last night under the stars
You cried oh mama sing me a love song
pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
and ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking
right under my feet just put me to sleep
