Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Mother Mother lyrics

Get for me a dog that bites Turn him loose on moonless nights Get for me a dog that bays And turn him loose on sunless days Someone's trying to hurt me Build for me a house of stone Lock it up when you leave me alone And cage it in a fence of iron To keep your child from all harm Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Get for me a bird of prey Starve it night and day And turn it loose where tyrants dwell And make a heaven from this hell Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Mother Mother oh help me Someone's trying to hurt me Mother Mother oh help me Mother Mother
