There's a d**h in my family
and my mother died last night
There's a d**h in my family
and my mother died last night
Don't tell me to work now, people
because paying don't seem right
Now, my mother was a good woman
and she loved me all the days
Now, my mother was a good woman
and she loved me all the days
She was the best friend in my life
and right now, she's pa**ed away
They say try to remember
she has gone to a better rest
Oh, she was sick for so long people
maybe this is best
but how my heart is achin
I could never have guessed
whoa, well well well well
well well well well well well
whoa, well well well well
well well well well well well well
I wanted to low her down easy
I wanted to ring the tollin bell
