blues for memphis slim
Singer:burdon, eric
you know when you're born
you first see light of day
through a gap in your mother's legs
and some of you girls spend your life
trying to get back into a hole
they're gonna dig a hole for you eventually in the ground
and slot you right back to mother earth
mother earth is waitin' for you
she is big and she's round
and it's cold way down in the ground
you may not be happy all the time
you may never be that way
mother earth is waitin' for you
for that debt you've got to pay
don't care how big you are
i don't care what you were
you've got to go back to mother earth
you could be blase with life
only make love to foreign girls
you may have a little jet
and fly all around the world
don't care how big you are
i don't care what you were
you've got to go back to mother earth
you may own some racing horses
even own a whole damn track
you may have enough money
don't care how big you are
i don't care what you were
you got to go back to mother earth
when the acid trip is over
you got to come back to mother blues
all i can do is sing these blues
you've got to go back to mother earth
oh baby you hear what i say?
