Brown Bird - Wrong Black Mare lyrics

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