Verse : same picking as intro
[C]Oh! my mama, [Am]she gave me these feathered bre[Em]aths [G]
[C]Oh! my mama, [Am]she told me, "Use your vo[Em]ice, my little bir[G]d!"
[C]She said "sing! sing! sing! sing! [Am]sing! sing! [Em]melodies"[G]
[C]And she sang! sang! sang! sang! sa[Am]ng! those me[Em]lodies[G]
[C]Oh! my mama, [Am]she did give me fancy feet I'll[Em] be dancin' [G]on
[C]And I'll tap, tap, tap my [Am]toes into those creaking flo[Em]or boards[G]
[C]Oh! My mama s[Am]he took my little hand [Em]and held on [G]tight
[C]All the mamas[Am] give the waters of their [Em]wells![G]
[C]All the mamas[Am] give the babies this very [Em]dirt we're w[G]alking on
[C]Oh! My mama, [Am]she gave me these feathered [Em]breaths [G]
[C]And your mama, s[Am]he gave you these feathered [Em]breaths too[G]
[C]And when the sky drops all those [Am]feathers
[Em]And when the birds sing in t[G]he morning
[C]I'll be a mama
[Am]I'll have a daughter
[Em]I'll be a mama
[G]I'll have a daughter
[C]And I'll give her melodies
[Am]I'll give her melodies
[Em]And I'll give her melodies
[G]I'll give her melodies
[C]And I'll give her melodies
[Am]I'll give her melodies
[Em]And I'll give her melodies
[G]I'll give her melodies
[C]And She'll be my little b[Am]ird[Em] [G]
[C]And then she'll fl[Am]y
[Em]she'll fly
[G]she'll fly
