Hey poor mama, what say you?
What say you this day?
Hey poor mama, where's your baby?
Lost and gone away

She went walking no goodbye's
She went wandering astray
Hey poor mama, what say you?
What say you today?

Cold black devil, left us crying
Left us crying in shame
No such heaven, heaven gone now
Can't go on this way

Listen to me, listen good
Oh, you listen good
Find a good man, strong and able
Am I understood?

Hey poor mama, what say you?
What say you this day?
Hey poor mama, where's your baby?
Lost and gone away

Dig for silver, dig for gold
Dig for diamonds too
All that digging, you'll get old
It will bury you

I'll walk for, 14 miles
I'll walk for, 14 miles
I'll walk for, 14 miles
I'll walk for, 14 miles

I'll run for, 14 miles
I'll run for, 14 miles
I'll run for, 14 miles
I'll run for, 14 miles, yeah running
