It was a cold black night
When my mama passed away
It was a cold black night
When my mama passed away
Now I'm alright
It was a cold black night

It was a plain grey day
When my papa passed away
It was a plain grey day
When my papa passed away
But I'm all right
On this cold grey day

It was a cold black night
When my mama passed away
It was a cold black night
Now I'm all right
But my mama has passed away
