My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she dies
My mother told me just before she dies
Oh daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
Oh daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
Oh daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
Oh daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
To fall in love with every man you see
But I did not listen what my mother said
But I did not listen what my mother said
But I did not listen what my mother said
That's the reason why I'm sitting here today
Baby, now she's dead, she's six feet underground
Baby, now she's dead, she's six feet underground
Baby, now she's dead, she's six feet underground
And I'm a child and I am driftin' round
Do you remember the day baby, you drove me from your door
Do you remember the day baby, you drove me from your door
Do you remember the day you drove me from your door
Go away woman and don't come here no more
I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
Didn't have no blues, I couldn't keep tarryin' aroun'
