Scythian - Hey Mama Ya lyrics

rate me

Alright, so this next song's a sort-of Zydeco New Orleans song... It's about a dead guy. It's called "Hey Mama Ya."<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama don't<br />

Lose me like you found me under yonder stone<br />

Stay with me a while longer 'til the new moon<br />

Save me from the curse of a Creole tomb<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama sing<br />

Take me to the place where the church bells ring<br />

Let me float on a boat through the bayou<br />

Where I once was a boy before I had to choose<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama stop<br />

Don't let me get caught on the gravedigger's watch<br />

Lead me through this limbo to the Promised Land<br />

Release me from the grip of the evil hand<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! <br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! <br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama light<br />

A lantern that will save me from this endless night<br />

I've wandered in the company of other lost souls<br />

Looking for a door that was never closed<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama row<br />

Take me in your ferry to the other shore<br />

The debt's been exacted, I've paid for my sins<br />

I'm ready for the preacher's promise to begin<br />

<br />

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

<br />

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! <br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! <br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field<br />

(Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo<br />

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow<br />

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee<br />

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field)
