Come Home Momma lyrics
Song information
Artist: Pretty Things Album: Silk Torpedo
Lyrics
With stiffened back, dressed in black Enters doctor pessimism, no one called him He sips his tea, demands his fee Offers not one word of comfort to those grieving
Come home momma You know the old man is dying Brothers, sisters They stand around and they are crying
He takes his hat, snaps it back On the empty head old lester Thought might save him He snaps his purse, sends for the hearse Then he's off to dance beneath Bright mirrored ceilings
Come home momma
It's such a bitch, when the ditch That they're digging is for your old man to lie in It grows so cold, when you're told That old lester's house is sold; The mortgage closing
Come home momma
