lyrics
Oh dear mama. Why’d you leave me ‘lone?
went up the clifftop. Never found your way back home
Dirty daddy. Why’d you do me wrong?
Puttin’ your weight. Where it don’t belong
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
home.
Oh my papa, took a liking to the rye
now i grew big ‘nuff, we see eye to eye
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
Home, home, home, home
home, home, home, home
home, home, home, home
Oh dear mama. Why’d you leave me ‘lone?
me and my brother gotta do this on our own
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Find your way back Home
Find your way back home
Find your way back home (Oh, dear brother)
Find your way back home (trouble in this land)
Find your way back Home (goin down the river)
Find your way back home (wash the bloodstains from our hands)
Find your way back home (Oh dear mama)
Find your way back home (why’d you leave me ‘lone?)
Find your way back Home (went up the clifftop)
Never find your way back home
went up the clifftop. Never found your way back home
Dirty daddy. Why’d you do me wrong?
Puttin’ your weight. Where it don’t belong
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
home.
Oh my papa, took a liking to the rye
now i grew big ‘nuff, we see eye to eye
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
Home, home, home, home
home, home, home, home
home, home, home, home
Oh dear mama. Why’d you leave me ‘lone?
me and my brother gotta do this on our own
Oh, dear mama, why’d you leave me ‘lone?
Going up the clifftop. Going up the clifftop.
Oh, dear mama, what have you done?
Going up the clifftop. Never found your way back
Find your way back home
Find your way back home
Find your way back Home
Find your way back home
Find your way back home (Oh, dear brother)
Find your way back home (trouble in this land)
Find your way back Home (goin down the river)
Find your way back home (wash the bloodstains from our hands)
Find your way back home (Oh dear mama)
Find your way back home (why’d you leave me ‘lone?)
Find your way back Home (went up the clifftop)
Never find your way back home
