On the day I was born it was prophesied That the earth would bang and blast away On the day i first stepped on the ground Oh the earth trembled in a quake It ain't a story to summon my greatness Or a plea for a little pity Just a sign of trouble to come That I wear on my hip like a gun Its gone, it's gone its the goodness That I had as a little one Oh I pass behind my father 'Cause now I'm as good as done Such a heavy load for such a little girl To see the changing lights We don't know how to please them But they push and they pull into our fight Well single, girl oh single girl She always dresses so fine Married girl, oh married girl She wears whatever she can find Single girl goes where ever she please Married girl's at home on her knees Oh you know i love my man But my feet gotta travel this land
