Johnny Cash's Mama's House Lyrics

This song is performed by Emily Wells.
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool

Orange juice and my youth,
Livin' it up in the poor house
Vinyl records and violins,
Spinnin' and squawkin'
Short eyelashes and your daily bread,
Learning 'bout love in your little head
Marmalade and pancakes,
Cookin' it up in the back house

Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool

Creek ran dry but the water came in,
Dry earth so how we ever gonna swim?
Take me down to the riverside,
Take me there, we can cry cry cry
Then we'll be at a babbling brook,
Read me from your pages and tear me from your book
Bleed your ink right into me,
Fill my lungs with empathy

Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool

Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool
