Oh my Mama

Oh my Mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
And she told me use your voice,
My little bird.

She did give me fancy feet
I'll be dancing on.
And I'll tap tap tap my toes
Into those creaking floorboards,

The Mamas
Give the waters of their wells,
Give the babies this very dirt we're walking on.

My Mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
And your Mama
She gave you those feathered breaths too.

And when the sky drops all those feathers
And when the birds sing in the morning
I'll be a mama,
I'll have a daughter.
And I'll give her melodies
And then my little bird
She'll fly.
