[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, chi—
[Chorus]
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child (No)
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you where I'm at, from where I sit, from where I sat
Sucked too much from Mother and she rebelled
Bit off her nipple, she threw us down and gave us hell
Now we're begging for mercy, oh, she cast a nasty spell
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the live long day, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
[Verse 2]
I'm not here to sing you lullabies, I'm here to ring the bell
You can hear the main ringing, hear the rising, hear the swell
Rock yourself to sleep tonight, there are no stories to tell, woah
But Mama taught you well, Mama taught you well
Mama taught you well, Mama taught you well, well, well, well, well
Mama taught you well
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the live long day
[Chorus]
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child (Oh, child)
Oh, child (Oh, child)
Oh, child
Oh, child
[Outro]
Oh, child
Oh, child
Oh, child
