from

I'm a stranger at this place and I'm lookin' for my mother's grave
I'm a stranger at this place and I'm lookin' for my mother's grave
Well it seems like to me, ooh well, well some of us goin' to wail
I was at mother's grave, when they put my mother away
I was at mother's grave, when they put my mother away
And I can't find no one ooh, well, to take her place
After my mother was put away, I thought my wife would take her place
After my mother was put away, I thought my wife would take her place
I'll show you the difference 'tween a mother and a wife, well, my wife done throw me away
I wished I could find someone to take my mother's place
I wished I could find someone to take my mother's place
And if I can't find no one, ooh well, well you'll find me at her grave
I'm standin' on my mother's grave and I wished I could seen her face
I'm standin' on my mother's grave and I wished I could seen her face
I'll be glad when that day comes, ooh well, well when it be to dive me away
Here is the table of contents.
