Mother was the baddest woman in my book.
\nI get scared of her now & I was raised on gospel.
\nShe’d hit me with anything – skillets & stove wood.
\nOne time I ran away & cried for a whole week.<\/p>\n

I get scared of her now & I was raised on gospel
\nThat the preacher screamed out on a Sunday morning
\n& one time I ran away & cried for a whole week,
\nStayed in the backwoods, me & my little dog.<\/p>\n

That preacher screamed out on a Sunday morning

\n& God don’t put no more on you than you can bear
\nBut mother was the baddest woman in my book.<\/p>\n
