Mama Papa Lyrics - Into The Blues - Joan Armatrading

I was born on an Island 

St. Kitts 

In a little biddy town 

Had a mama and a papa 

Four brothers and a sister 

Mama papa told us 

Play hard 

Fight fair 

Live life 

And love the Lord 

I said love the Lord 

Said love the Lord

Their choice was 

The United Kingdom 

Living in Birmingham 

When they wanted to spread their wings 

And fly away 

Seven people in one room 

No heat 

One wage 

And bills to pay 

I said bills to pay 

Gotta pay those bills 

Now when you're walking on heaven's floor 

Talking in the ear of God 

What you gonna say to the man 

When he asks you what you've done 

Can you say you did your very best 

With what you had 

Like my mama and my papa 

Photos 

I know two people who served up love 

And a whole lot more 

They made us hold our sides with laughter all night long 

Oh they made us laugh 

Until we cried 

Till we begged them stop 

Or we'll split our sides 

Now when you're walking on heaven's floor 

Talking in the ear of God 

What you gonna say to the man 

When he asks you what you've done 

Can you say you did your very best 

With what you had 

Like my mama and my papa
