Scythian – Hey Mama Ya lyrics
Alright, so this next song's a sort-of Zydeco New Orleans song... It's about a dead guy. It's called "Hey Mama Ya."

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama don't
Lose me like you found me under yonder stone
Stay with me a while longer 'til the new moon
Save me from the curse of a Creole tomb

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama sing
Take me to the place where the church bells ring
Let me float on a boat through the bayou
Where I once was a boy before I had to choose

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama stop
Don't let me get caught on the gravedigger's watch
Lead me through this limbo to the Promised Land
Release me from the grip of the evil hand

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field
Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama light
A lantern that will save me from this endless night
I've wandered in the company of other lost souls
Looking for a door that was never closed

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Hey mama, ya mama, yo mama row
Take me in your ferry to the other shore
The debt's been exacted, I've paid for my sins
I'm ready for the preacher's promise to begin

Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field

Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field
Heeey mama! Hey! Heeey mama yo. Heeey mama! Hey!
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field
(Hey mama, ya mama, hey mama yo
Save me from hell 'fore the rooster's crow
Hey mama, doh mama, hey mama dee
Just a dead man's letter from the potter's field)
