TAKE ONE AWAY
|
WRITERS BURTON CUMMINGS, BILL IVENIUK
|
|
One cloudless morning
|
was it day or night
|
The sun and the moon were bright
|
Take one away
|
|
Two holy sisters lost in the desert dry
|
From the weight the old mule will die
|
Take one away
|
|
Oh mama sit down, I think it's time you knew
|
The day I first came to you, I was dead on arrival
|
And now I can hear you pleading on the radio
|
Mama I've joined the church you know
|
And I've been passing out bibles
|
Take one away
|
|
Three babies conceived
|
She couldn't afford them all
|
The curtain begins to fall
|
Take one away
|
|
Five o'clock in the morning
|
aw just an hour ago
|
She might have been alive you know
|
They took one away
|
|
Oh mama sit down, I think it's time you knew
|
The day I first came to you, I was dead on arrival
|
And now I can hear you pleading on the radio
|
Mama I've joined the church you know
|
And I've been passing out bibles
|
Take one away
|
|
Oh mama sit down, I think it's time you knew
|
The day I first came to you I was dead on arrival
|
And now I can hear you pleading on the radio
|
Mama I've joined the church you know
|
And I've been passing out bibles
|
Take one away
