Текст (слова) песни: G. Love & Special Sauce - Slipped Away (The Ballad of Lauretha Vaird)
Good morning son It`s off to school you go Mom`s gone to work you know Mom when are you coming home There`s a bank robbery that`s going on Ooh this very morn Mom`s gone to wrok for sure Mom when are you coming home Officers the bank is being held By two gunmen that don`t mean well Mom`s on the job can`t you tell Mom when are you coming home Mom when are you coming home To see your son
Daughter don`t be a policeman Please be a school teacher instead You`re so good with the children Mom when are you coming home Teacher please excuse these boys from class Their mother gone from a gunshot blast Another cop shot down on patrol Mom when are you coming home Mom when are you coming home To see your son
The gangsters killed our mother dead All is lost from our family They tried to save our mom in vain She drowned in blood and she was not saved The bank is open and the robbers jailed And Mom won`t be coming home The way they run their world so wrong How can us brothers get along Mom when are you coming home
