I'm a stranger at this place and I'm lookin' for my mother's grave (2x)
Well it seems like to me, ooh well, well some of us goin' to wail
I was at mother's grave, when they put my mother away (2x)
And I can't find no one ooh, well, to take her place
After my mother was put away, I thought my wife would take her place (2x)
I'll show you the diff'rence 'tween a mother and a wife, well, my wife done throw me away
I wished I could find someone to take my mother's place (2x)
And if I can't find no one, ooh well, well you'll find me at her grave
I'm standin' on my mother's grave and I wished I could seen her face (2x)
I'll be glad when that day comes, ooh well, well when it be to dive me away
