I was born on an Island St KittsIn a little biddy townHad a mama and a papa4 brothers and a sisterMama papa told usPlay hardFight fairLive lifeAnd love the LordI said love the LordSaid love the LordTheir choice wasThe United Kingdom living in BirminghamWhen they wanted to spread their wings and fly away7 people in one roomNo heatOne wageAnd bills to payI said bills to payGotta pay those billsNow when you're walking on heaven's floorLetras de cancionesTalking in the ear of GodWhat you gonna say to the man When he asks you what you've doneCan you say you did your very best With what you hadLike my mama and my papaI know two people who served up loveAnd a whole lot moreThey made us hold our sides with laughter all night longOh they made us laughUntil we criedTill we begged them stopOr we'll split our sidesNow when you're walking on heaven's floorTalking in the ear of GodWhat you gonna say to the man When he asks you what you've doneCan you say you did your very best With what you hadLike my mama and my papa From Letras Mania
