Classic Poem

Come on, mama
Out to the edge of town
Come on, mama
Go to the edge of town
I know where there's a bird nest
Builded on the ground

If I was a bird, mama

If I was a bird, mama, I would
Find a nest in the heart of town
(Lord you gonna build it in the heart of town)
So when the times get lonesome
I'd be bird nest bound

Hard luck is at your front door
Blues are in your room
Hard luck is at your front door
Blues are in your room
Parted at your back door, what is
Gonna become of you

Sometime I say I need you
Then again I don't
Sometime I say I need you
Then again I don't
(You know it's the truth, baby)
Sometime I think I'll quit you
Then again I won't

Oh, I remember one morning
Standing in my baby's door
(Sure, boy, I was standing there)
Oh, I remember one morning
Standing in my baby's door
(Boy, you know what she told me)
Look-a-here papa Charlie, I
Don't want you no more

Take me home sweet home baby
To that Shining Star
Take me home now to
That Shining Star
(Lord, you know I'm just staying there)
You don't need no telling, mama
Take you in my car
