Emily Wells - Johnny Cash's Mama's House lyrics

Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew what you had Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew you pretty little fool Orange juice and my youth, livin' it up in the poor house Vinyl records and violins, spinnin' and squawkin' Short eyelashes and your daily bread, learning 'bout love in your little head Marmalade and pancakes, cookin' it up in the back house Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew what you had Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew you pretty little fool Creek ran dry but the water came in, dry earth so how we ever gonna swim? Take me down to the riverside, take me there, we can cry cry cry Then we'll be at a babbling brook, read me from your pages and tear me from your book Bleed your ink right into me, fill my lungs with empathy Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew what you had Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew you pretty little fool Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew what you had Hey, hey you never knew what you had till you lost it Hey, hey you never knew you pretty little fool
