Oh! my mama, she gave me these feathered breaths
CAmEmG
Oh! my mama, she told me, "Use your voice, my little bird!"
CAmEmG
She said "sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! melodies"
CAmEmG
And she sang! sang! sang! sang! sang! those melodies
CAmEmG
Oh! my mama, she did give me fancy feet I'll be dancin' on
CAmEmG
And I'll tap, tap, tap my toes into those creaking floor boards
CAmEmG
Oh! My mama she took my little hand and held on tight
CAmEmG
All the mamas give the waters of their wells!
CAmEmG
All the mamas give the babies this very dirt we're walking on
CAmEmG
Oh! My mama, she gave me these feathered breaths
CAmEmG
