Mama don't leave, mama don't stay We don't know what game to play This baby calf fell to earth We don't know just what she's worth
Mama don't leave, mama don't stay We don't know what game to play This baby calf tell to earth We don't know just what she's worth
At the top of the stairs, with a crash she hit the ground She fell backwards, backwards without a sound Backwards without a sound
With a backhand at night, with a crash she hit the ground She fell backwards, backwards without a sound Backwards without a sound
Until she hit the ground Until she hit the ground
Oh leave me here to stay Oh I was meant to die this way Oh leave me here to stay Oh I was meant to die this way
And the wind rolled, and the rain came And we all know, it was not her way And the wind rolled, and the rain came And we all know, it was not my way
Oh Katherine, are you in heaven now Oh my Katherine, are you in heaven now Oh sweet Katherine, are you in heaven now Oh my Katherine, are you in heaven now
'Cause I was once just like you And how it grew and how it grew All these dreams of human beings And all these wells, all these springs I just don't know what to do, what to do What to do
Mama don't leave, mama don't stay We don't know what game to play This baby calf fell to earth We don't know just what she's worth
