lyrics

When Mama dipped me in the river
I bet she didn’t think of you
I’ve been so careful to keep
My heel safely in my shoes
To the sweetest boys I’ve been the first to say goodbye
And the cruelest man I ever met, he could not make me cry
But when Mama dipped me in the river
I bet she didn’t think that I would find you

But what a weakness,
What a wonderful weakness I have found
Take me home and keep my head
Spinnin’ all around, around, around

When Daddy built me a fortress
I bet he didn’t think of you
The world, they meet a stone wall
But there is one who walks right on through
I will take on an army with my own two hands
Then you take me down with a single glance
When Daddy built me a fortress
I bet he didn’t think that you would find me

But what a weakness,
What a wonderful weakness I have now
Take me home and keep my head
Spinnin’ all around, around, around

When Mama dipped me in the river
I bet she didn’t think of you
