Mama Always Told Me

Mama always told me
Don't build your house
On the shifting sands
When the wind comes a' blowing
The first wind that will blow
Will blow it down.

Mama always told me
Don't build your house
On the shifting sands
When the wind comes a' blowing
The first wind that will blow
Will blow it down.

Oh it's an endless road
But I keep trying
I'm going down the railroad
I'm going down
Where no one can find me
Raise our love under a shady grove.

Papa always told me
Girl never let your deal go down
He told me
Little girl don't let them steal your soul.

Oh it's an endless road
But I keep trying
I'm going down the railroad
I'm going down
Where no one can find me
Raise our love under a shady grove.

Mama always told me
Don't build your house
On the shifting sands
When the wind comes a' blowing
The first wind that will blow
Will blow it down.

Oh it's an endless road
But I keep trying
I'm going down the railroad
I'm going down
Where no one can find me
Raise our love under a shady grove.

Mama always told me
Don't build your house
On the shifting sands
When the wind comes a' blowing
The first wind that will blow
Will blow it down.
