Stoney End

Barbra Streisand · The Essential Barbra Streisand [2002]

I was born from love

And my poor mother worked the mines

I was raised on the good book, Jesus

Til I read between the Lines

And I don't believe I want to see the morning



Gonna down to Stoney End

I never wanted to go down to Stoney End

Momma, let me start all over

Cradle me, momma cradle me again



I can still remember him with love light in his eyes

But the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise

Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning



Gonna down to Stoney End

I never wanted to go down to Stoney End

Momma, let me start all over

Cradle me, momma cradle me again

Momma cradle me again



Never mind the forecast cause the skies have lost control

For the fury and the broken thunder's

come to match my raging soul

Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning



Gonna down to Stoney End

I never wanted to go down to Stoney End

Momma, let me start all over

Cradle me, momma cradle me again
