Folk Song from Aluminum Overcast by Early Gray

Pardon me, friend
I have mistook you for someone else
You have his nose, yes
But not his shoulders or his hands.

It was a strange dream
That taught my heart to love to hate
Please pardon me, friend
I am a victim of my fate

Pardon me, friend
I have mistook you for someone else
You have his nose, yes
But not his shoulders or his hands

Oh mama, when did life start to get you down?
You look tireder than last I came into town
Are you holding up the sky for the sake of rhyme?
Singing your baby down with ‘this little light of mine’?

“Oh mama, he left his head for a piggy bank
What’s comin’ out his ears, is it steam or change?
If change is all you need, I’ve got pockets full
But change won’t change a thing for your dampened soul”

Oh drama, runnin’ wild and steeped in sin
Who offered you a hand, offered you the win?
Are you tired from lack of sleep, or from sleeping in?
Singing yourself to sleep with this little light of…

Oh mama, when did
Oh mama, when did
Oh mama, when did life start to get you down?

Pardon me
Pardon me, friend

I have mistook you for someone else
You have his nose, yes
But not his shoulders or his hands
