Ms. Martha

[Verse 1]

She sit on her porch every day at about past noon

But from her eyes, I just see a sad and blue

Is there anything that I can do for you?

She'd say, "No my son, the Lord will see me through"

[?] his name was Little Ray

Red in his eyes and all he know is getting paid

Sell his soul to the devil if he could

Ms. Martha, she do her best, like we know she always would

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world, not hate amongst each other

Like Ms. Martha

Like Ms. Martha

Like Ms. Martha

Like Ms. Martha

[Verse 2]

Standing at her place, just to see the waste

Never much to say, kept an empty face

Could it be, she just doesn't have a man

Or maybe, we just don't understand

There are so many things I wish to do for you

Follow your heart to make the dreams come true

(She said) the reason why I haven't passed away

I lived to make sure you'd see a better day

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world, not hate amongst each other

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world, not hate amongst each other

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world, not hate amongst each other

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world, not hate amongst each other

Sometimes I'm up, and times I'm down

It's like one way in, and no way out

But we oughta know each other

And spread love around the world
