Every Mother's Sun1, 2, 3, 4The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye She swore no other boy would take my place I took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou I hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face. Please tell her that I said hello Explain to her I didn't want to go But a message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I can get out now, she'll never know She'll never know, never know. I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles But they took away my money and my pride I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well Living out the gutter ain't so easy to describe. But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band Working in a smoky downtown bar When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand Said: 'Put your mark along here boy, I'm gonna make you a rock'n'roll star'. Please tell her that I said hello Explain to her I didn't want to go But a message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I can get out now, she'll never know Never know, never know. Well the years have come and gone and I was passing through to find That my home town was still the same to see Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me. Please tell her that I said hello Explain to her I didn't want to go But a message from her daddy said: 'He's gonna see me dead' And if I can get out now, she'll never know She'll never know, never know. Mmm... If I can get out now, she'll never know Never know, never know Never know, never know Never know. |
