Slipped Away (the Ballad Of Lauretha Vaird) Lyrics

Good morning son 
It`s off to school you go 
Mom`s gone to work you know 
Mom when are you coming home 
There`s a bank robbery that`s going on 
Ooh this very morn 
Mom`s gone to wrok for sure 
Mom when are you coming home 
Officers the bank is being held 
By two gunmen that don`t mean well 
Mom`s on the job can`t you tell 
Mom when are you coming home 
Mom when are you coming home 
To see your son

Daughter don`t be a policeman 
Please be a school teacher instead 
You`re so good with the children 
Mom when are you coming home 
Teacher please excuse these boys from class 
Their mother gone from a gunshot blast 
Another cop shot down on patrol 
Mom when are you coming home 
Mom when are you coming home 
To see your son

The gangsters killed our mother dead 
All is lost from our family 
They tried to save our mom in vain 
She drowned in blood and she was not saved 
The bank is open and the robbers jailed 
And Mom won`t be coming home 
The way they run their world so wrong 
How can us brothers get along 
Mom when are you coming home
