Altamaha-Ha lyrics
by Olivier Deriviere
[Verse 1]
Slumber, child, slumber, and dream, dream, dream
Let the river carry you back to me
Dream, my baby, 'cause
Mama will be there in the mornin'
[Verse 2]
Last night under bright strange stars
We left behind the men that caged you and me
Runnin' toward a promise land
Mama will be there in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
Trust nothin' and no one in this strange, strange land
Be a mouse and do not use your voice
River tore us apart, but I'm not too far 'cause
Mama will be there in thе mornin'
[Verse 4]
Do you still dream? Do you, do you sleep still?
I fill my pockets full of stones and sink
Thе river will flow, and the sun will shine 'cause
Mama will be there in the mornin'
[Verse 5]
Slumber, child, slumber, and dream, dream, dream
The river murdered you and now it takes me
Dream, my baby
Mama will be there in the mornin'
[Verse 6]
You may not know me because I changed (Ooh, I changed)
But mama will not stop lookin' for her baby (For her baby)
When the river takes, the river gives
And mama will search as long as she lives (She lives)
[Outro]
Dream
Dream, my baby
Mama will be there in the mornin'
Mama will be there in the mornin'
