Scythian lyrics : "Hey Mama Ya"

Alright, so this next song's a sort-of Zydeco New Orleans song... It's about a dead guy. It's called "Hey Mama Ya."

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama don't
Lose me like you found me under yonder stone
Stay with me a while longer 'til the new moon

Save me from the curse of a Creole tomb

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama sing
Take me to the place where the church bells ring

Let me float on a boat through the bayou
Where I once was a boy before I had to choose


Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama stop

Don't let me get caught on the gravedigger's watch
Lead me through this limbo to the Promised Land
Release me from the grip of the evil hand


Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field
Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!

Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama light

A lantern that will save me from this endless night
I've wandered in the company of other lost souls
Looking for a door that was never closed


Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama row
Take me in your ferry to the other shore
The debt's been exacted, I've paid for my sins

I'm ready for the preacher's promise to begin

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field


Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field
(Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo

Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field)
