Death In My Family - Michael Bloomfield

There’s a death in my family

And my mother died last night

There’s a death in my family

And my mother died last night

Don’t tell me to work now, people

Because paying don’t seem right

Now, my mother was a good woman

And she loved me all the days

Now, my mother was a good woman

And she loved me all the days

She was the best friend in my life

And right now, she’s passed away

They say try to remember

She has gone to a better rest

Oh, she was sick for so long people

Maybe this is best

But how my heart is achin

I could never have guessed

Whoa, well well well well

Well well well well well well

Whoa, well well well well

Well well well well well well well

I wanted to low her down easy

I wanted to ring the tollin bell
