I'm So Gone

Hey poor mama,

what say you?

what say you this day?

Hey poor mama,

where's your baby?

Lost and gone away

She went walking

no goodbye's

she went wandering astray

Hey poor mama

what say you

what say you today?

Cold black devil

left us crying

left us crying in shame

No such Heaven

Heaven gone now

can't go on this way

listen to me

oh listen good

oh listen good

find a good man

strong and able

am i understood?

He came from somewhere

Big city somewhere

Came with smoke in his eye

Spending money

Money, money

Money, lust and pride

He went talking

Talked for miles

Miles of fortunes he told

Charmed our baby

Right from our arms

Right into the cold

Hey poor mama

what say you?

what say you this day?

Hey poor mama

where's your baby

lost and gone away?

oh dig for silver

dig for gold

dig for diamonds too

all that digging

you'll get old

it will bury you

well i'll walk for, 14 miles

and i'll run for 14 too
