Malta Bend Lyrics - Malta Bend - Stevie Stone

Unleash these words 

Singing out the melody, memory, them Malta Bend memories 

Oh lord 

Unleash these words 

When the chips are down, back's against the wall 

On the side of the road, no-one to call 

There's no-one at all 

When it seems the rain will never stop again 

You don't know who's really your friend 

Or where you're getting your [?] from 

I wanna share a little story that I know well 

Another small town 

Another small tale 

About a woman with nothing 

Possessing [?] will 

A strong woman parented by Evelyn and Bill 

She never knew no excuses, the sun would come around 

See they were segregated, down in the Lower Town 

She took it all up in stride, but destined for a change 

A different type of struggle in this five [?] lanes 

See they was deep in the Church, she played piano well 

Willy and Stella and Rosie, Debbie and Ludia Bell 

See family values was high, I'm talking back when 

This is the story about a woman from Malta Bend 

Yeah 

She moved out kinda early and had my two sisters 

'81 is the year I came in to the picture 

Ever since I remember you been working hard 

11, 12 hour days, 2 or 3 jobs 

Reminiscing to the story I could shed a tear 

5 elementary schools in 6 years 

We had to live through the struggle, but Me and Momma made it 

You see, this story's about a woman who's motivated 

I got a little bit dough [?] to chip in 

Not only was you my Momma, but you my best friend 

I wanna tell you I love you and you're my only one 

I wanna thank you for life 

P.S -your only son 

Yeah 

You're my only Mom, I love you 

Oh, you're amazing 

How amazing you are 

Yeah
