TAKE ONE AWAY   One cloudless morning was it day or night   The sun and the moon were bright   Take one away   Two holy sisters in the desert dry   From the weight the old mule will die   Take one away    Oh mama I think it's time you knew   The day I first came to you   I was dead on arrival   Now I can hear you pleading on the radio   Mama I've joined the church you know   And I've been passing out bibles   Take one away    Three babies conceived she couldn't afford them all   The curtain begins to fall   Take one away   Five o'clock in the morning ... oh just an hour ago   She might have been alive you know   But they took one away
