Oh my Mama   She gave me these feathered breaths   Oh my Mama   She told me use your voice,   My little bird      She said sing sing sing sing sing sing melodies   And she sang sang sang sang sang sang melodies      Oh my Mama   She did give me fancy feet   I'll be dancing on   And I'll tap tap tap my toes   Into those creaking floorboards      Oh my Mama   She took my little hand and held on tight   Oh the Mamas   Give the waters of their wells   Oh the Mamas   Give the babies this very dirt we're walking on   Oh my Mama   She gave me these feathered breaths   And your Mama   She gave you those feathered breaths too      And when the sky drops all those feathers   And when the birds sing in the morning   I'll be a mama   I'll have a daughter   I'll be a mama   I'll have a daughter      And I'll give her melodies   I'll give her melodies   (repeat)      And she'll be    My little bird   And then she'll fly   She'll fly
