Misty River - Mother, Mother lyrics

rate me

Misty River - Mother, Mother

A MAN HAS COME TO TAKE ME AWAY

MOTHER MOTHER HOW CAN I STAY

THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD HOME

THERE'S A MAN WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME

HOW CAN HE LOVE ME

HE ONLY KNOWS MY NAME

BUT HE'S PROMISED TO KEEP ME

HE SAYS HE WILL KEEP ME

AND WE'LL MAKE A LIFE JUST THE SAME

HE'S GOT A HOUSE AND SOME LAND

40 ACRES OF LAND

3 CHILDREN FROM HIS WIFE

THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE

THERE WILL BE WORK TO BE DONE

TILL WE'RE TAKEN FROM THIS LIFE

CHORUS:

MOTHER, MOTHER, I'VE NOTHING TO CHOOSE

BUT THE CHOICE IT MUST BE MADE

MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE

IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY

FIDDLE SOLO - VERSE

THIS HOUSE, I HATE TO LEAVE IT

THIS HOUSE, I HATE TO GRIEVE IT

BUT IT'S BEEN MY ONLY HOME

AND MAYBE HE WILL LOVE ME

HE COULD LEARN TO LOVE ME

AND HE WOULD BE MY OWN.

MOTHER, MOTHER, I'VE NOTHING TO CHOOSE

BUT THE CHOICE IT MUST BE MADE

MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE

IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY

MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE

IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY
