Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Well, it's the only thing I could do half right
And now it's turnin' out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song
ย
I think it's the only thing I could do half right
And now they turnin' out all wrong, mama
Look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my brain, mama
Look what they've done to my brain, mama
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think that I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to all my songs
ย
Well, I wish I could find a good book to live in
I wish I could find a good book to live in
Well, if I could find a real good book I'd never have to to come out and
Look to what they've done to my song
ย
Maybe it'll all be alright, mama
Maybe it'll all be alright, mama
Well, if the people are buying tears, I'll be rich someday, ma
How about that?
Look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my song, mama
Oh it's frightning me
What they've done to my song
They tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down, mama
ย
Look what they've done to my song
ย
Well maybe it'll all be alright, mama
ย
Maybe someday it'll be alright, mama
ย
Well, if the people are buying Bessie Smith tears
I'll be someday, real rich mama
And buy you a new house
Cause what they have done to my song
ย
Well
ย
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
It's the only thing I could do half alright
Now, they turned it upside down now
Look what they've done to my
To my brain, mama
To my songs, mama
To my heart, mama
To my
They didn't get that
Look what they've done to my song
