Can I Sing a Lullaby

Escaped, I thought I had, but I was wrong Ran, yes I did, thought I’d hid.. went along Can I sing a lullaby? Home was farce, felt life there TOO harsh Oh, Mama don’t call me no trash Hush little babe hush-a-bye Can I sing a lullaby? Man was he good that smooth talkin’ stud Carmel candy apple brown love hit like a thud Now, just look at me, says it ain’t his blood. Can’t sing no damn lullaby Can’t have it, damn, I won’t try! Lord, oh Lord, will he have his blue eyes Can I sing a lullaby? Time to decide now, NO Mama ain’t here Can I sing, can I try? Thought I’d escaped, but got con’d, now stoned But, I can do yah better little one on my own Walk right out a here There’s a cradle in the sky Walk right on out Baby, I sing ya, I’ll try. I’ll do ya better than my Mama did me Let ya live little one, LIVE and be my baby. * This form is called Blues Poetry
