| They're taking her children away | |
| Because they said she was not a good mother | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because she was making it with sisters and brothers | |
| And everyone else, all of the others | |
| Like cheap officers who would | |
| Stand there and flirt in front of me | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because they said she was not a good mother | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because of the things that they heard she had done | |
| The black air force sergeant was not the first one | |
| And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one | |
| And i am the water boy, the real game's not over here | |
| But my heart is overflowin' anyway | |
| I'm just a tired man, no words to say | |
| But since she lost her daughter | |
| It's her eyes that fill with water | |
| And i am much happier this way | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because they said she was not a good mother | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because number one was the girl friend from paris | |
| The things that they did, ah, they didn't have to ask us | |
| And then the welshman from india, who came here to stay | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because they said she was not a good mother | |
| They're taking her children away | |
| Because of the things she did in the streets | |
| In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat | |
| That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn, anyone away | |
| I am the water boy, the real game's not over here | |
| But my heart is overflowin' anyway | |
| I'm just a tired man, no words to say | |
| But since she lost her daughter | |
| It's her eyes that fill with water | |
| And i am much happier this way |
