Biography:
Brown Bird was a folk band which formed in 2003 in Seattle, Washington, United States, but was based in Warren, Rhode Island for much of its existence.

VERSE:
Gm
Mama’s little baby won’t hush down
She’s spookin’ all the hens and the old milk cow
Eb Cm
Rest your head in the cradle now
Gm Gm
Ain’t no one gonna hear a sound
VERSE:
Gm
Daddy laid it all on the wrong black mare
Hopped the next train to god knows where
F
But God don’t go where your daddy’s gone
Gm Gm
Where the cowards and the fools belong
VERSE:
Gm
Mama waited up on the porch all night
Waited up ‘til the morning light
Eb Cm
She fed those hens and she milked that cow
Gm Gm
Then she got behind the old man’s plow
BREAK:
Gm
And late last night a bad man came
Gm
Screamin’ curses at your daddy’s name
Eb Cm
You woke screamin’ to a frightening sound
Gm
And your mama laying on the ground
Eb Cm
A bad man running down the back door stairs
Gm Gm
Blame it all on the wrong black mare
VERSE:
Gm
Mama’s little baby won’t hush down
She’s spookin’ all the hens and the old milk cow
Eb Cm
Rest your head in the cradle now
Gm
Ain’t no one gonna hear a sound
