Mama Why Are Your Hands So Cold (Live at the Bottom of the Hill) ft. The Swingin' Doors Lyrics

I'm worried about my father

He's been in very poor health

He drinks a bottle of medicine every day

And still isn't feeling too well

Daddy when are you coming home

Daddy when are you coming home

I'll try and do better and not make you so mad

Daddy when are you coming home

I'm worried about my mother

She's always making excuses

I know she's just real clumsy cleaning house

Cause every day she's got new bruises

Mama why are your hands so cold

Mama why are your hands so cold

I wish you'd wake up you've been sleeping so long

Mama why are your hands so cold

I wrapped a scarf around her pretty face

Put my little mittens on her big hands

But when I tried to put on her sweater

Daddy her arms wouldn't bend

Daddy when are you coming home

Daddy when are you coming home

Please come home and make her cry so I'll know she's all right

Daddy when are you coming home

Mama why are your hands so cold

Mama why are your hands so cold

I wish you'd wake up you've been sleeping so long

Mama why are your hands so cold

Mama why
