Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh, hear my mother call

Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh, hear my mother call


I was one of five born to my mother

An older sister and three young brothers

We've seen it hard, we've seen it kind of rough

But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide

The fact from us that life was really tough


I can hear my mother call

I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Late at night I hear her call

Oh lord, lord I hear her call

She said, "Father, father it's for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Any and every thing I did.

Please, please don't judge me too strong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong."


Then the devil sang


"Would you like to dance with me? (Ooh-ahh-ooh)

We're doin' the cosmic slop." (Ooh-ahh-ooh)

(x3)


She was well known through the ghetto

Tricks would come and then they'd go

The neighbors would talk and call her Jezebel

But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide

The fact from us that she was catching hell, hey!


Hear my mother call

I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Late at night I hear her call

Oh lord, lord I hear her call

She says, "Father, father it's for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Any and every thing I did.

Please, please don't judge me too strong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong."

Lord!


(Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Hear my mother call

(Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Hear my mother call

She says, "Father, father it's for the kids (ooh-ah-ooh)

Any and every thing I did. (ooh-ah-ooh)

Please, please don't judge me too strong.

Hear my mother call (ooh-ah-ooh)

Hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyy!

Mother!

I can hear my mother call (ooh-ah-ooh)

I can hear my mother call (ooh-ah-ooh)

Mother, mother

Late at night I hear my mother

Late at night I hear my mother

Heyyyyyyy!
