Ray LaMontagne Lyrics

7. Hey Me, Hey Mama

Papa's in the kitchen, 
Mama's in the field 
There's a murder in the henhouse 
Mud flung high upon the wheels 

Ol' rooster in the dooryard 
He's just leanin' on the horn 
With the wind so sweetly driftin' 
Through the ripening corn 

Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been for so long, for so long? 
Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been, where you been for so long? 

There's something outrageous 
'Bout that evening sky 
Just this side of dangerous 
That look in your eye 

I always knew that you were crazy 
Always knew you could be cruel 
Still, I would do just about anything 
In the world for you 

Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been for so long, for so long? 
Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been, where you been for so long? 

You left me standin' in the corner 
With my head so hangin' down 
Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin' 
Like a rodeo clown 

You always seem to hit me 
Like a lightnin' from above 
I guess I just wasn't ready for 
Such a heavy-handed love. 

Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been for so long, for so long? 
Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been, where you been for so long? 

Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been for so long for so long? 
Hey Me, Hey Mama 
Where you been, where you been for so long?
