<b>Prodigal Son</b> by <i>Joshua White</i><br />

I broke my mother's heart, Lord when I runned away

I broke my mother's heart, Lord when I runned away

She said he's a hard-headed child, I know you is gone astray

My mother said son oh son, way you carryin' on is a low down dirty sin

My mother said son, way you carryin' on is a low down sin

You done run away and left me, but you comin' back home again

Had to pawn my shoes and clothes, sleep out in the park every night

Pawned my shoes and clothes, sleep in the park each and every night

I done laid around and caught T.B., I'm drawed up just like a piece of trite

I'm coming home mother, please don't cry when you see me

I'm coming home mother, when you see me don't you cry

I was a hard-headed boy, now your son's coming home to die

Ooh mother, oh mother, remember I'm your son

Cryin' mother, oh mother, remember that I'm your child

Mama please forgive me, all the things that I have done
