C Am Em G
Oh! my mama, she gave me these feathered breaths
C Am Em G
Oh! my mama, she told me, "Use your voice, my little bird!"
C Am Em G
She said "sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! melodies"
C Am Em G
And she sang! sang! sang! sang! sang! those melodies
C Am Em G
Oh! my mama, she did give me fancy feet I'll be dancin' on
C Am Em G
And I'll tap, tap, tap my toes into those creaking floor boards

Oh! My mama she took my little hand and held on tight

And when the birds sing in the morning
