Original Lyrics

Munged Lyrics

She sits alone, an empty stare
A mother's face she wears
Where did she go wrong,
the fight is gone
Lord help this broken home

Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, tryin', believein'
Hey, mothe
...
[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]

She sits alone, an empty stair
A mother's face she wears
Ware did she go wrong,
the fight is gone
Lord help this broken home

Hay, mother, farther, sister
Hay, come back, tryin ', believein '
Hay, mother, farther, dreamer

Don't yew no that I'm alive fore yew
I'm yaw sevenths sun
And when lightin ' strikes the family
Have faith, believe .

With dreams he tried, lost his pride
He drinks his life aweigh
Won photograph, inn broken glass
It should knot end this weigh .

Threw bitter tears
And wounded years, those ties
of blood whirr strong
Sew much too say, those yesterdays
Sew now don't yew tern aweigh .

(chorus)
