Translation
Bilingual
Had about six sisters and five of the other
I guess there was a dozen of us
Never met my father, it was down to my mother
When we hitchhiked we had to catch a bus
Which happened every time the county came around
And said to get your kids in school
We'd pack up our bags and hit the road right quick
Cuz Mama said school's for fools
We learned to read from the cover of a
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP
Mama sang us to sleep with traditional tunes
Of the Partridge Family
But Mama never went electric
Mama never drove a car
Mama chop wood and Mama carry water
But Mama never got very far
Mama never vaped an e-cig
Mama roll her own cigar
Mama was as far out as she could get
But Mama never got very far
We had a sour harmonica
Four strings on a guitar
Paint bucket drums and pop bottle rattles
And Mama had to be the star
But Mama never went electric
Mama never drove a car
Mama chop wood and Mama carry water
But Mama never got very far
Mama never watch her e-health
She sippa from a kerosene jar
Mama was as far as out as she could get
But Mama never got very far
Mama wrote poems by firelight
She sang like the wind in a tree
She said the earth is flat and the moon is fake
It's a big conspiracy
So Mama never went electric
Mama never drove a car
Mama chop wood and Mama carry water
But Mama never got very far
Mama never check her email
To me that is the most bizarre
Mama was as far as out as far could get
But Mama never got very far
Got very far
Far out but never got very far
Mama never got very far
