Humble Pie Every Mothers Son Lyrics

Every Mothers Son Lyrics

One...two...three...four

The last time I saw her she was waving me
goodbye

She swore no other boy would take my place

I took a
Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou

I hoped to find
my destiny, my fortune and my face

Please tell her that I said hello

Explain to her I didn't want to go

But a message from her daddy
said

He's gonna see me dead

And if I can get out now, she'll never
know

She'll never know, never know

I stayed around, I played around
with all those Southern belles

But they took away my money and my pride

I had no place to go--and the rest you know darn well

Living out the
guttar ain't so easy to describe

But I still had my guitar, so I joined a
dirty band

Working in a smoky downtown bar

When comes along this big
wheel with a contract in his hand

Said, 'put your mark along here boy

I'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'

Please tell her that I said
hello

Explain to her I didn't want to go

But a message from her
daddy said

He's gonna see me dead

And if I can get out now, she'll
never know

Never know, never know

Well the years have come and
gone

And I was passing through to find

That my home town was still
the same to see

Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my
mind

I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me

Please tell her that I said hello

Explain to her I didn't want to
go

But a message from her daddy said

He's gonna see me dead

And if I can get out now, she'll never know

She'll never know, never
know

If I can get out now, she'll never know

Never know, never
know

Never know, never know

Never know
