Hey Mama Ya Lyrics - Singles - Scythian

Alright, so this next songs a sort-of Zydeco New Orleans song Its about a dead guy. Its called Hey Mama Ya. 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama dont 

Lose me like you found me under yonder stone 

Stay with me a while longer til the new moon 

Save me from the curse of a Creole tomb 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama sing 

Take me to the place where the church bells ring 

Let me float on a boat through the bayou 

Where I once was a boy before I had to choose 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama stop 

Dont let me get caught on the gravediggers watch 

Lead me through this limbo to the Promised Land 

Release me from the grip of the evil hand 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama light 

A lantern that will save me from this endless night 

Ive wandered in the company of other lost souls 

Looking for a door that was never closed 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama row 

Take me in your ferry to the other shore 

The debts been exacted, Ive paid for my sins 

Im ready for the preachers promise to begin 

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey! 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field 

(Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo 

Save me from hell fore the roosters crow 

Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee 

Just a dead mans letter from the potters field)
