Oh lord I'm kneeling with my hands up in my ears
My baby's crying but I ain't got no food tonight
My man took off and he died drunk a year ago
My girl she's lying with her bellys all stuck out
My brain's a bleeding and I ain't got much more to lose
The rats got my house, you know I can't sleep
Oh lord I'm sick in my side
I am a widow and I got my seven kids
I am a widow and I got my seven kids
All the living people they're asking me to pray
They say that you're the only one who could save
They say that you're the only only only one who could save
Oh give me death Lord all I want
Want is want is want is want
Give me death
