Johnny Cash's Mama's House

This song is performed by Emily Wells.

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew you pretty little fool

Orange juice and my youth,

livin' it up in the poor house

Vinyl records and violins,

spinnin' and squawkin'

Short eyelashes and your daily bread,

learning 'bout love in your little head

Marmalade and pancakes,

cookin' it up in the back house

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew you pretty little fool

Creek ran dry but the water came in,

dry earth so how we ever gonna swim?

Take me down to the riverside,

take me there, we can cry cry cry

Then we'll be at a babbling brook,

read me from your pages and tear me from your book

Bleed your ink right into me,

fill my lungs with empathy

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew you pretty little fool

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had

Hey, hey

you never knew what you had till you lost it

Hey, hey

you never knew you pretty little fool
