Classic Poem

My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died

Oh daughter daughter please don't be like me
Oh daughter oh daughter please don't be like me
Oh daughter oh daughter please don't be like me
To fall in love with every man you see

But I did not listen to what my mother said
But I did not listen what my mother said
But I did not listen what my mother said
That's the reason why I'm sitting here in Hattiesburg

Baby now she's dead and six feet in the ground
Baby now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
Baby now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
And I'm her child and I am drifting 'round

Do you remember the day, baby, you drove me from your door
Do you remember the day, baby, you drove me from your door
Do you remember the day you drove me from your door
Go away from here woman and don't come here no more

I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
Didn't have no blues, I couldn't be satisfied
