Ever since i was on cripples monday,
i've got my eyeballs on my knees.
i rapped for hours with mad mary williams,
she said she never understood a word from me
because, i know that she cares about me,
i heard her call my name.
And i know that she's long, dead and gone,
still it ain't the same.
when i wake up in the morning, mama,
i heard her call my name.
i know she's dead and long, gone.
i heard her call my name.
and then i felt my mind split open.
I know that she's long, dead and gone,
still it ain't the same.
when i wake up in the morning, mama,
i heard her call my name.
i know she's dead and long, gone.
still, i heard her call my name.
and then my mind split open.
