Birmingham Mistake - Sammi Smith

Well she just couldn't stand the scandal

It was more than she could handle

And I thank her for leavin' me so warm

On a doorstep in a basket which was

Better than a casket before she blew

Town like a gentle storm when she left

She left me no name folks hand here tagged me

Show me and bein' born was my first big bad break

I wish now that I'd been put down

In a better part of this town

When she got rid of a Birmingham mistake

'Cause I'm livin' with the burden

Of livin' down the Birmingham mistake

The longer that I live

Makes me wonder just how long it's gonna take

When will I have a change of luck

When will things start lookin' up

Livin' down this Birmingham mistake

Life ain't been a bed of roses

People still look down their noses

I was born without the icing on the cake

It wasn't me who did the choosin'

But it's me who's doin' the losin'

Well I was born a Birmingham mistake

Now I'm livin' with the burden

Of livin' down the Birmingham mistake

The longer that I live

Makes me wonder just how long it's gonna take

When will I have a change of luck

When will things start lookin' up

I'm livin' down this Birmingham mistake
