Artist/Band: Morrissey
Lyrics for Song: Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed
Lyrics for Album: Years of Refusal [2009]



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 w/ill kiss you

by way of one final hug, Mama.
