Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed lyrics
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
Was it the pigs in gray suits persecuting you?
Uncivil servants unconcerned at how they frighten you
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here without you
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
Spare, priggish money men who scared the life out of you
Bailiffs with bad breath, I will slit their throats for you
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here without you
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here without you
So we're gonna run to you
We're gonna come to you
We're gonna lie down beside you, mama
We're gonna be with you
We're gonna join you
We're gonna lie down beside you, mama
And we'll be safe and sheltered in our graves
We'll come before you
and we will touch you
We'll go for one final hug, mama
