Verse 1
A
Bucket on
Head
There's (D major) poor mama walking by the river
A bucket on her head
Will she go (A major) for a (D major) swim today?
Go (A major) on home (D major) instead
Yeah, a mama, four kids around her feet
A booth and a market place
No time to feel alone,
he's been gone so long
Can't (G major) remember (D major) his face
(A major) Yeah, (D major) a poor mama after the funeral
She's wearing her
Sunday's (G major) best
It's (D major) now the new social occasion
As they lay their loves to rest
(A major) Yeah, poor mama,
you have yourselves (D major) a king
And fourteen wives
(G major) But (D major) he's forgotten about the bucket
And he doesn't know
or hear your (A major) cries
Elbow mama, you re (D major) member
The day the white man (G major) came
Thought he was
God to the (D major) ocean
Forcing it to bow (A major) the rain
Elbow mama,
the sun's going (D major) down
Your pot's on (G major) the flame
You know it's hard to point a
(D major) finger at a face without a (A major) name
But mama, please keep (D major) going
You're the heart an (G major) d the hand of a
country with its head (D major) chopped off
And blood that soaks (A major) the land
Yeah, poor mama walking by (D major) the river
A bucket on her (G major) head
Will she go for a (D major) swim today?
Or go on home (A major) instead?
you
