VERSE:
G minorGm
Mama’s little baby won’t hush down
She’s spookin’ all the hens and the old milk cow
Eb MajorEb C minorCm
Rest your head in the cradle now
G minorGm G minorGm
Ain’t no one gonna hear a sound
VERSE:
G minorGm
Daddy laid it all on the wrong black mare
Hopped the next train to god knows where
FF
But God don’t go where your daddy’s gone
G minorGm G minorGm
Where the cowards and the fools belong
VERSE:
G minorGm
Mama waited up on the porch all night
Waited up ‘til the morning light
Eb MajorEb C minorCm
She fed those hens and she milked that cow
G minorGm G minorGm
Then she got behind the old man’s plow
BREAK:
G minorGm
And late last night a bad man came
G minorGm
Screamin’ curses at your daddy’s name
Eb MajorEb C minorCm
You woke screamin’ to a frightening sound
G minorGm
And your mama laying on the ground
Eb MajorEb C minorCm
A augmentedA bad man running down the back door stairs
G minorGm G minorGm
Blame it all on the wrong black mare
VERSE:
G minorGm
Mama’s little baby won’t hush down
She’s spookin’ all the hens and the old milk cow
Eb MajorEb C minorCm
Rest your head in the cradle now
G minorGm
Ain’t no one gonna hear a sound
