Mother
* Instrumental *
Come my Father,
Come my Brother,
Come my Sister too,
Come down to the riverbank and tell me of your blues,
We'll have a talk, and we'll have a walk,
And sometimes we'll sit too,
But there's no place for making space to sit down next to you.
* Instrumental *
Have you any Silver?
Or have you any Gold?
Have you any news to tell of whether new or old,
I say as much because and then thats enough,
Because this is getting cold,
I'm sure we'll spend another time so this one can be told,
Hey! Ohhhhhhh,
Come my Father, (oooohhhhh)
Come my Brother, (oooooohhhhh)
Come my Sister too, (oooohhhhh)
Tell me of your blues.
* Instrumental *
Mother can you hear me,
I'm stomping down the stairs,
I'm going to the river bank to meet the others there,
And Yooooouuuu say I'm not prepared,
You go on, and on, and on, and on, and on and on and on and on
And...
Ohhhhhhh,
Come my Father, (oooohhhhh)
Come my Brother,
(oooooohhhhh)
Come my Sister too, (oooohhhhh)
Tell me of your blues.
* Instrumental *
Sitting by the riverbank is what I'd love to do,
But I'm stuck here making sense of what was left before you flew,
To sing and dance by the riverbank sounds mighty bloody fun,
But who'll be rinsing clothing through when all of you are done.
So out you go, out you run, I won't begrudge you of your fun,
Although I may be here all day I'm thinking of you on your way
Take towels and your shoes and tell the river of your blues,
Sing and dance with all the others [unsure]
Ohhhhhhh,
Come my Father, (oooohhhhh)
Come my Brother, (oooooohhhhh)
Come my Sister too, (oooohhhhh)
Tell me of your...
