My Lamb
by Keith Abbott

Oh mamma well I know he must've come
Like e'en if your eyes quit shining as the sun
And your two step get heavy wouldn't you know girl
I am the one from whom the thunder run
I ain't the top brass slinger but wouldn't you know
I know a thing or two of how a battle's won
And though it ain't exactly fishin' there's a method to the dip
That got a funny way of gettin' it all done

My lamb he is a good man

Well the blood on my hands and the blood in my teeth
And the voice from the head take kill eat it
And as the blood of the innocent washes up on my feet
I see the people start to murmur as I dance in the street
Dance in the ice I dance in the heat
And I dance though my woman look ashamed at me
I'd have died for her daddy like my daddy taught me
If you ain't walkin' to your death then you're walkin in your sleep

My lamb he is a good man

My woman keep talkin' that I am drunk on the cup
And how it's runnin' o'er my mouth as it's commin' back up
Tried to take it from my hand send me off to sleep
But I am a rock in the desert heard another rock speakin'
Love me like a woman if I'd act a man
But she were there at the table when her daddy lost the handle
She were there in the hall when he paced off the heat
So you won't roll another rock ma I'll spill it till I bleed

My lamb he is a good man

Only eyes for you mamma but a date with the sand
Has got me runnin' by the reaper with the plow in my hand
And as the steps are come busted hear him call out sayin'
Of all the deals ever dealt this reminisces of the ace
Don't you cry mamma you're a natural born queen
We had a good life but you're on to things we only ever dreamed of
And I dream of you now cool grass on my face
When the dust is all settled see the king in my place

Oh my lamb he is a good man
