Hey Mama won't you come down

Hey Mama

Won't you come down

To the river To wait

To be

Hey Mama won't you come down

Hey Mama won't you come down

To the river to wait to be

Oooo wash my hair

Like you wash my hair

For years and years

I'm going to wait

Oooo wash my hair

Like you wash my hair

For years and years

I'm going to wait

There's a man that I know

And I think he loves me so

Finally I'm going to wait

So Mama won't you come down

Hey Mama won't you come down

To the river to wait to be
