And Oh Jerusalem
Oh my baby, rest your head
She’s cryin’ Jesus’ name every night
Oh my lord, stay by my side
By my side
Mama pick cotton
Mama drink tea
Mama clean the dirt straight off her feet
Mama sweat and bleed jus’ to make ends meet
Before the sunrise she’s on the street
And Oh Jerusalem
Oh my baby, rest your head
She’s cryin’ Jesus’ name every night
Oh my lord, stay by my side
By my side
Always wash your hands and sit up straight
Keep your eyes closed, she say grace
Mama sittin’ pretty in a Sunday dress
Wouldn’t let the good lord see nothin’ less
And oh for heaven sake
Shake off your worry
Before it’s too late
Coz only Jesus’ name can you rely
Don’t need no weepin’
Just dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Mama pick cotton
Mama drink tea
Mama clean the dirt straight off her feet
Mama sweat and bleed just to make ends meet
Before the sunrise she’s on the street
She said shake off your worry
She said shake off your worry
