Last Born
Hand me down that old hat
Hand me down those old shoes
Hand me down that old shirt
Pass me by because I'm to small
Pass me by and choose them two
Pass me by Mr. Chicken Pox
Held me last and held me long
Held me back because I didn’t learn long
Held me by my tiny hand as they did ride
Momma I'm a man now, let me go
Momma I'm gonna be okay
Momma I'm your last boy and the last to leave
Momma I won't let the streets take me.
