Classic Poem

I'm sister and brotherless
I'm sister and brotherless
I'm motherless and fatherless
I'm motherless and fatherless
Too
Well, I clean up, little woman
Can I go home with you

Oh take me to the waterfront
Oh take me to the waterfront
Where the water runs co-old
Where the water runs co-old
Downstream
Well I love my little woman
She's the prettiest girl ever seen

My mother is dead now
My mother is dead now
My father is go-one
My father is go-one
Too
Well I'm sister and I'm brotherless
Motherless, fatherless, too

I 'member way back
I 'member way back
When I was the a-age
When I was the a-age
Of nine
Well I thinking 'bout my friends
All my friends all around

Oh here's my hand, babe
Oh here's my hand, babe
Won't never see me he-ere
Won't never see me he-ere
No more
Well now I love my little woman
I want the whole world to know
