Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed |
| Mama, why did you do it? |
| Mama, who drove you to it? |
| Was it the pigs in grey suits |
| Persecuting you? |
| Uncivil servants |
| Unconcerned at how they frighten you |
| Life is nothing much to lose |
| It’s just so lonely here without you |
| Mama, why did you do it? |
| Mama, who drove you to it? |
| Spare priggish money-men |
| Who scared the life out of you |
| Bailiffs with bad-breath |
| I will slit their throats for you |
| Life is nothing much to lose |
| It’s just so lonely here without you, mama |
| Life is nothing much to lose |
| It’s just so lonely here without you, so |
| We’re gonna run to you |
| We’re gonna come to you |
| We’re gonna lie down beside you, mama |
| We’re gonna be with you |
| We’re gonna join you |
| We’re gonna lie down beside you, mama |
| And we will be safe and sheltered in our graves |
| We’ll come before you |
| And we will kiss you |
| By way for one final hug, Mama |
