Mother's Blues
Well my mother told me
You gotta work hard
Don't you go and spend it all
On bourbon and cards
I said, yes mam
Well my mother told me
Always stick to the truth
A liar has no friends
He'll end up lonely and blue
I said, yes mam
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
My mother she told me
That youth is a flower
And soon it withers
My mother she told me
That there are many snares
And they're lying all around on mainstreet
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
My mother told me
That narrow road
It'll wear your shoes down
But it will carry you home
I said, yes mam
Well my mother told me to clasp my hands
And tell the Lord about it, he will understand
I said, yes mam
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
You gotta work hard
Don't you go and spend it all
On bourbon and cards
I said, yes mam
Well my mother told me
Always stick to the truth
A liar has no friends
He'll end up lonely and blue
I said, yes mam
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
My mother she told me
That youth is a flower
And soon it withers
My mother she told me
That there are many snares
And they're lying all around on mainstreet
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
My mother told me
That narrow road
It'll wear your shoes down
But it will carry you home
I said, yes mam
Well my mother told me to clasp my hands
And tell the Lord about it, he will understand
I said, yes mam
I talk the talk
But I don't walk the walk
The spirit is willing
But oh this flesh is way way way to weak
