A Song for My Mother
Don't you ever take a stranger's hand
Or leave your clothes out in the rain
Keep the darks from the lights, hang 'em neatly to dry
Don't leave your bed undone, you're not yet free to roam
—pre—
Keep your sisters in your hearts
Your little brothers in your arms
And don't you forget the way home
—ch—
Don't turn your hearts against me now
'Cause my love's spread so thin
Of you there are many and me I'm just me
And my love's spread so thin, so thin
—v2—
Through a mother's eyes it's a big bad world
It ain't a pretty place for all my pretty little girls
So when I tell you no, when I hold you back
There's a good reason why, you must know that
—pre—
—ch—
—br—
Mama teach me how to cook, I need to feed my family some day
Mama teach me how to sew, the clothes on my back may be the best friends I'll have
Mama teach me how to trust, I wanna love a man some day
Mama teach me how to hold my tongue
And learn to just wait for the world to just turn
Or leave your clothes out in the rain
Keep the darks from the lights, hang 'em neatly to dry
Don't leave your bed undone, you're not yet free to roam
—pre—
Keep your sisters in your hearts
Your little brothers in your arms
And don't you forget the way home
—ch—
Don't turn your hearts against me now
'Cause my love's spread so thin
Of you there are many and me I'm just me
And my love's spread so thin, so thin
—v2—
Through a mother's eyes it's a big bad world
It ain't a pretty place for all my pretty little girls
So when I tell you no, when I hold you back
There's a good reason why, you must know that
—pre—
—ch—
—br—
Mama teach me how to cook, I need to feed my family some day
Mama teach me how to sew, the clothes on my back may be the best friends I'll have
Mama teach me how to trust, I wanna love a man some day
Mama teach me how to hold my tongue
And learn to just wait for the world to just turn
