Life (Live) - Allen Toussaint

Written by：Allen Toussaint

Mother just look what they done done to your son

Father father just look what they done done to your son

Mother mother

I have felt the mark of ten thousand teeth

I done seen my body lying limply at my feet

As I've seen my soul creeping out my chest

Out of my head towards the east I've been victimed by the west

Mother just look what they done done to your son

But it ain't so bad I've been drinking while they're just having fun

Father father

I've seen visions of dol hins dancing in my head

But I'm not gonna worry might wake up in the morning dead

But if I die stoned before I wake

Lord grant me one last wish please unveil my fate

I didn't know what I was told

About the work of the devil and now I know

I didn't know what I was told

About the work of the devil and now I know

I didn't know what I was told

About the work of the devil and now I know

I didn't know what I was told

About the work of the devil and now I know
