I'm a stranger at this place and I'm lookin' for my mother's grave 
I'm a stranger at this place and I'm lookin' for my mother's grave 
Well it seems like to me, ooh well, well some of us goin' to wail 
I was at mother's grave, when they put my mother away 
I was at mother's grave, when they put my mother away 
And I can't find no one ooh, well, to take her place 
After my mother was put away, I thought my wife would take her place 
After my mother was put away, I thought my wife would take her place 
I'll show you the difference 'tween a mother and a wife, well, my wife done throw me away 
I wished I could find someone to take my mother's place 
I wished I could find someone to take my mother's place 
And if I can't find no one, ooh well, well you'll find me at her grave 
I'm standin' on my mother's grave and I wished I could seen her face 
I'm standin' on my mother's grave and I wished I could seen her face 
I'll be glad when that day comes, ooh well, well when it be to dive me away
