When I was a barmaid, you were my mead
When I was a brave knight, you were my steed
When I was so lonesome I wanted to cry
You came to me in the night

You cried, 'oh Mama, sing me a love song'
Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
And ooh baby, my poor heart is breaking
I feel the ground shaking right under my feet
Just put me to sleep
When I was a sailor, you were my land
Always receding nowhere to stand
And when I fell over, you were the whale
You picked me up on your tail

You cried, 'oh Mama, sing me a love song'
Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
And ooh baby, my poor heart is breaking
I feel the ground shaking right under my feet
Just put me to sleep

When I was a farmer, you were my rain
When I was your lover, you were my pain
When all the fireflies that
We trapped in jars
Escaped last night under the stars

You cried, 'oh Mama, sing me a love song'
Pour me some bourbon and lay me down low
And ooh baby, my poor heart is breaking
I feel the ground shaking right under my feet
Just put me to sleep
