Wrong Black Mare
Mama's little baby won't hush downShe's spookin' all the hens and the old milk cowRest your head in the cradle nowAin't no one gonna hear a soundDaddy laid it all on the wrong black mareHopped the next train to God knows whereBut God don't go where your daddy's goneWhere the cowards and the fools belongMama waited up on the porch all nightWaited up 'til the morning lightShe fed those hens and she milked that cowThen she got behind the old man's plowAnd late last night a bad man cameScreamin' curses at your daddy's nameYou woke screamin' to a frightening soundAnd your mama laying on the groundA bad man running down the back door stairsBlame it all on the wrong black mareMama's little baby won't hush downShe's spookin' all the hens and the old milk cowRest your head in the cradle nowAin't no one gonna hear a sound
