All the books I've ever read
Ain't got nothin' on the things you said
When I was a child you'd sing to me
About a sad and lonely willow tree
And I would walk 1000 miles
If that's the price to make you smile
And there's a debt your heart ain't paid
Twice cut on a double edged blade
Oh Mama, they got me low
Deep in that valley alone
And you know the depths that I'll go
When I'm in that valley alone
Mama, they got me low
Oh now Mama give me hope
Cause it's a dark and lonesome road
And worry not, I'll find my home
Cause it's the only road I've known
Sing me a song when I'm down
It could be the last time I'm found
And if you need me to help you out
We could take the time to figure it out
Oh Mama, they got me low
Deep in that valley alone
And you know the depths that I'll go
When I'm in that valley alone
Mama, they got me low
All the books I've ever read
Ain't got nothin' on the things you said
