Текст песни Mother, Mother

Misty River - Mother, Mother

A MAN HAS COME TO TAKE ME AWAY
MOTHER MOTHER HOW CAN I STAY
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD HOME
THERE'S A MAN WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME
HOW CAN HE LOVE ME
HE ONLY KNOWS MY NAME
BUT HE'S PROMISED TO KEEP ME
HE SAYS HE WILL KEEP ME
AND WE'LL MAKE A LIFE JUST THE SAME
HE'S GOT A HOUSE AND SOME LAND
40 ACRES OF LAND
3 CHILDREN FROM HIS WIFE
THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE
THERE WILL BE WORK TO BE DONE
TILL WE'RE TAKEN FROM THIS LIFE
CHORUS:
MOTHER, MOTHER, I'VE NOTHING TO CHOOSE

BUT THE CHOICE IT MUST BE MADE
MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE
IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY
FIDDLE SOLO - VERSE
THIS HOUSE, I HATE TO LEAVE IT
THIS HOUSE, I HATE TO GRIEVE IT
BUT IT'S BEEN MY ONLY HOME
AND MAYBE HE WILL LOVE ME
HE COULD LEARN TO LOVE ME
AND HE WOULD BE MY OWN.
MOTHER, MOTHER, I'VE NOTHING TO CHOOSE
BUT THE CHOICE IT MUST BE MADE
MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE
IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY
MOTHER MOTHER I'VE NOTHING TO LOSE
IT'S A HARD LIFE EITHER WAY
