Nanci Griffith - Mary And Omie слова песни
My daddy was a longshoreman in New Orleans,My mamma kept score just watchin` the Mardi Gras ...oh me, ... I sat on the front porch watchin` the rails roll out,I was waitin` for my Omie to take me outta this southit was me and my sisters ... like to wore that front porch out(chorus)And there can,t be more to this livin` than loving my OmieWe`re both sittin` back here watchin` our children growIf there`s a better ace in the deck,Well, ... baby, come on and show me ...If you ain`t got a hand then get on your wheel and roll,`cuz there could never be a better hand than these hearts I holdMe and my Omie ... we settled down here in HoustonOh, and one by one, we moved my sisters westWe bought a house in the suburbs and we`ve got four fine childrenWe are black middle class because Omie wouldn`t settle for lessWe are black middle class because Omie wouldn`t settle for less(repeat chorus)My children are the first thing in my mornin` ...My Omie is the last thing in my nightOh, in between I dream about that porch back homeand I bless my daddy for the love within that houseBut, ... I thank my Omie for takin` me outta the south... look at these hearts I hold ... oh, look at these hearts I hold... look at these hearts I hold ... there ain`t no place like homelook at these hearts we hold ... look at those hearts you holdHey! ... my Omie`s got a heart of gold ... look at these hearts we hold... take a look at those hearts you hold ... !
