Oh, Mama

When I was a barmaid you were my mead When I was a brave knight you were my steed When I was so lonesome I wanted to cry You came to me in the night You cried oh mama sing me a love song Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low And ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking Right under my feet just put me to sleep When I was a sailor you were my land Always receding nowhere to stand And when I fell over you were the wind you picked me up on your tail You cried oh mama sing me a love song Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low And ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking Right under my feet just put me to sleep When I was a farmer you were my rain When I was your lover you were my pain When all the fireflies that we trapped in jars escaped last night under the stars You cried oh mama sing me a love song Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low And ooh baby my poor heart is braking I feel the ground shaking Right under my feet just put me to sleep
