Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh! My mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
Oh! My mama
She told me use your voice, my little bird
[Verse 2]
She said sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing melodies
And she sang, sang, sang, sang, sang, sang melodies
[Verse 3]
Oh! My mama
She did give me fancy feet I'll be dancin' on
And I'll tap, tap, tap my toes into those creakin' floorboards
Oh! My mama
She took my little hand and held on tight
Oh! The mamas give the waters of their wells
Oh! the mamas give the babies this very dirt we're walkin' on
[Verse 4]
Oh! My mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
And your mama
She gave you those feathered breaths too
[Verse 5]
And when the sky drops all those feathers
And when the birds sing in the morning
I'll be a mama, I'll have a daughter
I'll be a mama, I'll have a daughter
[Verse 6]
And I'll give her melodies, I'll give her melodies
I'll give her melodies, I'll give her melodies
I'll give her melodies, I'll give her melodies
I'll give her melodies, I'll give her melodies
[Verse 7]
And she'll be my little bird
And then she'll fly, she'll fly
She'll fly
