Papa’s faith is people,

Mama, she believes in cleanin’.

Papa’s faith is in peo- - -ple,

 Ma- -ma, she’s al- - - - - -ways clea- - - -nin’.

 Papa brought home the sugar,

 Mama taught me the dee- - -per meanin’.

She don’t like my kick-pleat skirt,

/ – / –

She don’t like my eyelids pain-ted green

She don’t like me stayin’ up late in my high-heeled shoes,

 Livin’ for that rock-n’-roll dancin’ scene.

Papa says, “Leave the girl alone mother,

She’s lookin’ like a Mo- - vie Queen.”

Mama thinks she spoilt me.

/ – / –

Papa knows somehow he set me free

Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten

 She blames herself

 But Papa, he blesses me.

It’s a rough road to travel, Mama

Let go now, it’s always called for me.

 Some-times I get that feeling

 And I want to settle and raised a child up with somebody.

I get that strong long- - -ing

 And I want to set- tle and raise a child up with somebody

 But it passes like the summer

 I’m a wild seed again, let the wind carry me.
