Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh hear my mother call
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh hear my mother call
I was one of five born to my mother
An older sister and three young brothers
We've seen it hard we've seen it kind of rough
But always with a smile she was sure to try to hide
The fact from us that life was really tough
I can hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Late at night I hear her call
Oh lord lord I hear her call
She said Father father it's for the kids
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Any and every thing I did
Please please don't judge me too strong
Lord knows I meant no wrong
Lord knows I meant no wrong
Then the devil sang
Would you like to dance with me
Ooh ahh ooh
We're doin' the cosmic slop
Ooh ahh ooh
X3
She was well known through the ghetto
Tricks would come and then they'd go
The neighbors would talk and call her Jezebel
But always with a smile she was sure to try to hide
The fact from us that she was catching hell hey
Hear my mother call
I can hear my mother call
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Late at night I hear her call
Oh lord lord I hear her call
She says Father father it's for the kids
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Any and every thing I did
Please please don't judge me too strong
Lord knows I meant no wrong
Lord knows I meant no wrong
Lord
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Hear my mother call
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
Hear my mother call
She says Father father it's for the kids
Ooh ah ooh
Any and every thing I did
Ooh ah ooh
Please please don't judge me too strong
Hear my mother call
Ooh ah ooh
Hear my mother call
Ahhh ahh ah ahhhhh
