Oh, Mama - Aoife O'Donovan

When I was a barmaid you were my mead

When I was a brave knight you were my steed

When I was so lonesome I wanted to cry

You came to me in the night

You cried oh mama sing me a love song

Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low

And ooh baby my poor heart is breaking I feel the ground shaking

Right under my feet just put me to sleep

When I was a sailor you were my land

Always receding nowhere to stand

And when I fell over you were the whale you picked me up on your tail

You cried oh mama sing me a love song

Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low

And ooh baby my poor heart is breaking I feel the ground shaking

Right under my feet just put me to sleep

When I was a farmer you were my rain

When I was your lover you were my pain

When all the fireflies that we trapped in jars escaped last night under the

stars

You cried oh mama sing me a love song

Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low

And ooh baby my poor heart is breaking I feel the ground shaking

Right under my feet just put me to sleep
