heaven bound - wild seeds lyrics
“mama is so tired”
daddy said in the train yard
so tired
so tired
black lace around her face
ribbons in her hair
and daddy was as quiet
as the love that laid her there
daddy was as poor as the land
he worked with his two hands
so tired
so tired
this train runs from madness
chased by my daddy’s h*llhounds
this train runs on sadness
but this train is heaven bound
a crowd watched at the gate anxiously
my baby brothers my sister and me
a nurse tried to take away
the two they pulled from mama yesterday
flashbulbs popped, men wrote things down
the women wore furs that touched the ground
i was never so scared
as the rich man touched my sister’s hair
he said “you’ve got nothing to give
and these babies got a right to live
i can give them a good home
i own the places where their dreams roam.”
chorus
my sister began to cry
i held tight to my daddy’s side
we were all alone
we were far from home
and my daddy said “i have no children for sale”
that’s all, i remember it well
we got back on that train
and we never got off again
chorus
