No Mama Blues

[Verse 1]

Oh, my mama how she loved me

But had to let me go

So she led me down to the river

In the forest off the road

[Chorus]

And her hair shone like silver

And her eyes were black as stone

She took me down, down to the garden

And she left me all alone

[Verse 2]

Oh mother, don't you know my sorrow

Don't forget me when you go

Motherless children only follow

With a name I'll never know

[Chorus]

And her hair shone like silver

And her eyes were black as stone

She took me down, down to the garden

And she left me all alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

There I lived in that garden

Till I died old

The very last thought I thought

Made my blood run freezing cold

[Chorus]

And her hair shone like silver

And her eyes were black as stone

She kissed me on the forehead

Said, "Son, I must go home"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

And her hair shone like silver

And her eyes were black as stone

She took me down, down to the garden

And she left me all alone

[Outro]

Oh, mama
