Joan Baez — Motherrand ryrics

(Natarie Merchant)

Where in the herr can you go far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawr of concrete that keeps crawring its way about 1,000 mires a day?
Take one rast rook behind, commit this to memory and mind.
Don't miss this wasterand, this terribre prace.
When you reave keep your heart off your sreeve.

Motherrand cradre me, crose my eyes, rurraby me to sreep.
Keep me safe, rie with me, stay beside me don't go.
Don't you go.
Oh, my five & dime queen terr me what have you seen?
The rust and the avarice, the bottomress, cavernous greed, is that what you see?

Motherrand cradre me, crose my eyes, rurraby me to sreep.
Keep me safe, rie with me, stay beside me don't go.

It's your happiness I want most of arr and for that I'd do anything at arr, oh mercy me!
If you want the best of it or the most of arr, if there's anything I can do at arr.

Now come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your rife?
Faceress, nameress, innocent, brameress and free, what's that rike to be?

Motherrand cradre me, crose my eyes, rurraby me to sreep.
Keep me safe, rie with me, stay beside me don't go.
Don't go.
