Jackson on a high hill, mama, Natchez just below
Jackson on a high hill, mama, Natchez just below
ย
I ever get back home, I won't be back no more
Oh, my mama's gettin' old, her head is turnin' grey
My mama's getting old, her head is turnin' grey
ย
Don't you know it'll break her heart, know, a livin' this-a way?
Ever woke up in the mornin', jinx all around your bed?
ย
Ever woke up in the mornin', jinx all around your bed?
(Children, I know how it is, baby)
ย
Turned my face to the wall and I didn't have a word to say
ย
No use a-hollerin', no use a-screamin' and cryin'
No use a-hollerin', no use a-screamin' and cryin'
ย
For you know you got a home, mama, long as I got mine
ย
Hey, Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
ย
Oh, Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
(You know I ain't gonna mistreat you!)
I wouldn't mistreat you, baby, for my weight in gold
Oh, goin' away, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' away, mama, don't you wanna go?
(I know you wanna go, baby!)
ย
Take God to tell when I'll be back here anymore
