Single Mother

Monday morning, 3am Baby’s crying in her crib Opened a letter from the landlord that read, “If there’s no rent check you’ll be evicted” The sink is dripping and the heater’s broke TV channels are just a joke Frost on the windows looks like prison chains Holding you back from a change in things Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right Boyfriend kicked your front door in Late at night on a drinking binge He lost his job at the factory And now he takes it out on you and your new baby Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right You didn’t choose this situation A single mother with no education You’ll find a way, find a way To get through all these days and nights Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right Oh Mama It’s all right
