Life

Allen Toussaint

[Chorus]
Mother
Just look what they done
Done to yo' boy
Mother, mother
Just look what they done
Done to yo' boy

[Verse 1]
Mother, mother
I have felt the mark
Of ten thousand teeth
I done seen my body
Lyin' stiffly at my feet
As I've seen my soul
Creepin' out of my chest
Bow my head towards the east
Got victims by the west

[Chorus]
Mother, mother
Just look what they done
Done to yo' son
But it ain't so bad
I'm a drinkin' while
They just havin' fun

[Bridge]
Father, father
Just look what they done
Done to yo' son

[Verse 2]
I see visions of dumplings
Dancin' in my head
But I'm not gonna worry
Might wake up in the mornin' dead
But if I die
Stoned before I wake
Lord, grant me one last wish
Please unveil my fate

(I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the Devil and now I know)

Father, father
Just look what they done
Done to yo' son
(I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the Devil and now I know)

But it ain't so bad
I'm a drinkin' while they just havin' fun
(I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the Devil and now I know)

Father, father
Just look what they done
Done to yo' son
(I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the Devil and now I know)
