Wayward Girl Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I've got the blues from my mother's knee
Well I've got the blues from my mother's knee
And I know she got the blues from me
I been thinkin' all day
Thinkin' about the past
I said thinkin' and thinkin' about the past
Well I been thinkin' about my dear mother last

[Verse 2]
Have you seen the letter, what do you suppose it read?
Have you seen the letter, what do you suppose it read?
It said "Come on home, your poor mother's dead"
Then I grabbed a train and I went home a-flyin'
And I grabbed the train and I went home a-flyin'
She wasn't dead but she was slowly dyin'

[Verse 3]
She said, "Run hither daughter, fall down on your knees"
"Run here daughter, fall down on your knees"
Oh and she sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Nearer, My God, to Thee
I said, Nearer, my God, to Thee
Mm mm mm, Nearer, my God, to Thee, oh
[Verse 4]
Got down on my knees and I began to moan
I fell right down, I began to moan
"Yes, dear mother, I'll try to sing that song"
But the tears rolled down like showers of rain
And the tears rolled down my face like showers of rain
Goodbye mother, I won't see you again

[Verse 5]
And I ran away with this pain in my heart
And I ran away, pain in my heart
'Cause I had no mother there to take my part
I'm a wayward girl
I'm a wayward girl
I'm a wayward girl, hey
'Cause I had no mother there to take my part, mm mm mm

[Outro]
(Nearer, my God, to Thee)
I'm a wayward girl
(Nearer, my God)
'Cause I had no mother there to take my part
I'm a wayward girl
I'm a wayward girl
Ooh ooh, hey hey
Mm mm mm, Nearer, my God, to Thee
I'm a wayward girl
I'm a wayward girl
Well, I'm a wayward girl
