Stepchild you've had a hard way to go
|
How come your daddy run away your mama never did know
|
All you remember is becoming a step son to your mama's new man
|
And you got aquainted with the back of his hand
|
Stepchild you say the man had a son
|
The son called him daddy but he told you to call him John
|
You say the legs on the breast of the chicken was gone
|
When the platter come around your way
|
And you had to chop cotton while your step brother played
|
Stepchild when you were born
|
Your right foot was turned left with your left
|
And mercy had a way of taking off and leaving you by yourself
|
Stepchild muddy water got in your well
|
|
Stepchild how come your laughing that way
|
After doing the deed that you've done you better learn how to pray
|
Stepchild you've got a weird sense of humor
|
And you came close to gettin' away
|
But they caught you plantin' garlic on your step daddy's grave
|
Stepchild when you were born...
