Mamaâs little baby wonât hush down
Sheâs spookinâ all the hens and the old milk cow
Rest your head in the cradle now
Ainât no one gonna hear a sound
Daddy laid it all on the wrong black mare
Hopped the next train to God knows where
But God donât go where your daddyâs gone
Where the cowards and the fools belong
Mama waited up on the porch all night
Waited up âtil the morning light
She fed those hens and she milked that cow
Then she got behind the old manâs plow
And late last night a bad man came
Screaminâ curses at your daddyâs name
You woke screaminâ to a frightening sound
And your mama laying on the ground
A bad man running down the back door stairs
Blame it all on the wrong black mare
Mamaâs little baby wonât hush down
Sheâs spookinâ all the hens and the old milk cow
Rest your head in the cradle now
Ainât no one gonna hear a sound
