No Mama Blues Lyrics by Sam Doores, Riley Downing, The Tumbleweeds

Holy Cross Blues

2012

[Verse 1]
Oh, my mama how she loved me
But had to let me go
So she led me down to the river
In the forest off the road
[Chorus]
And her hair shone like silver
And her eyes were black as stone
She took me down, down to the garden
And she left me all alone
[Verse 2]
Oh mother, don't you know my sorrow
Don't forget me when you go
Motherless children only follow
With a name I'll never know
[Chorus]
And her hair shone like silver
And her eyes were black as stone
She took me down, down to the garden
And she left me all alone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
There I lived in that garden
Till I died old
The very last thought I thought
Made my blood run freezing cold
[Chorus]
And her hair shone like silver
And her eyes were black as stone
She kissed me on the forehead
Said, "Son, I must go home"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And her hair shone like silver
And her eyes were black as stone
She took me down, down to the garden
And she left me all alone
[Outro]
Oh, mama
