Mother's Lament Cream
DISRAELI GEARS - CREAM transcribed by Aria76 MOTHER'S LAMENT Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four... [D] [G] A mother was washing her baby one night; [A] [D] The youngest of ten and a delicate mite. [D] [G] The mother was poor and the baby was thin; [A] [D] 'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin. [D] [G] The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack. [A] [D] She was only a moment but when she turned back [D] [G] Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried, [A] [D] "Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied: [D] [G] Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole. [A] [D] Oh, your baby has gone down the plug. [G] [D] The poor little thing was so skinny and thin, [A] [A7] [D] [A] [A7] [D] He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug. [D] [G] Your baby is perfectly happy; [A] [D] He won't need a bath anymore. [G] [D] He's a-muckin' about with the angels above, [G] [A] [D] Not lost but gone before. Do you want to do it again?
