Bad 'N' Ruin

Mother, don't you recognize your son

Comin' home, yeah, yeah

Gettin' home, 'cause I failed you, mother

I'll be there in the mornin', if you have me back

The rent up here is much too high for a room without a tap

A room without a tap

Be early in the mornin', and I'll find my way back home

Back home bad and ruin with my tail between my legs

Tail between my legs

And I'll be so tired

I'll be so tired, now listen

I'll be early tomorrow mornin', and I'll fall down off my plane

Don't be embarrassed, mother, by your ugly worn-out son

Your ugly worn-out son

So just let me warn you mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you wont recognize me now

Mother, you wont recognize me now

And I'll be down at  cannon street, passport in my hand

Should you not recognize me, I've heavily made-up eyes

Oh, momma, you wont recognize me now

Brother, you wont recognize me now

Hello there, sister, you wont recognize me now

Mother, you wont recognize me now

So mother, when you've seen me, don't forget I'm your boy too

I know my brother has done you proud, he's one foot in the grave

Mother, don't you recognize me now

I'm a burglar in the first degree

But it don't seem to worry me

I'll be so tired

So tired

I'll be so tired

So tired

So tired
