Lyrics

[Intro] Mmmm, omm [Verse 1] If my mother had not died Lord my father left his child at home If my mother had not died Lord my father left his child at home Maybe my life wouldn't be so miserable, baby Lord and I wouldn't be so all alone [Verse 2] I was born in Alabama Lord and I was raised up in Tennessee I was born in Alabama Lord and I was raised up in Tennessee But no matter where I travel Somebody always have tried to hurt for me [Verse 3] Well, I rather been lying dead Sleeping way down in my grave Lord and live long in this sarrow Hell and misery everyday
