[Verse 1]
Am F
One cloudless morning was it day or night
G
The sun and the moon were bright
C D
Take one away
Am F
Two holy sisters lost in the desert dry
G
From the weight the old mule will die
C D
Take one away
[Chorus]
C G
Oh mama sit down, I think it's time you knew
F
The day I first came to you
C G
I was dead on arr-ival
C G
And now I can hear you pleading on the radio
F
Mama I've joined the church you know
C G
I've been passing out bi-bles
C D
Take one away

Am
Three babies conceived
F
She couldn't afford them all
G
The curtain begins to fall
C D
Take one away
Am
Five o'clock in the morning...
F
Ah just an hour ago
G
She might have been alive you know
C D
But they took one away
[Chorus]
C G
Oh mama sit down, I think it's time you knew
F
The day I first came to you
C G
I was dead on arr-ival
C G
And now I can hear you pleading on the radio
F
Mama I've joined the church you know
C G
I've been passing out bi-bles

Take one away
