Previn: Honey and Rue: VI. Take My Mother Home - Kathleen Battle/Orchestra Of St. Luke's/André Previn

Lyrics by：Toni Morrison

Composed by：André Previn

Produced by：Alison Ames/Pal Christian Moe/Christopher Alder

My lady rides a Tennessee stud

With a tiny whip in her hand

The afternoon sky is kind to her

And the wind is in love with her veil

Her coat is as red as her heart

The spurs on her heels glint like knives

Where the esh of the stud is soft

Take my mother home

Take my mother on home

I ain't free never mind about me

Take my mother home

Take my father home

Let my father see his home

I ain't free don't worry about me

Take my father home

Take my sister home

Lead my sister home

I ain't free forget about me

Lead my sister home

Take my brother home

Show him the way to get home

I ain't free it don't matter about me

Take my brother home

I wish I had me a fast-footed horse

A veil to wrap my mind

I wish I had me a tiny little whip

And a heart that could close like a coat

Take my baby home

Take my baby home

I ain't free and I never will be

Take my pretty baby on home

Home

Home

I can stay here all alone

If you take my mother home

Hoooooooo
