I'm a stranger at this place     and I'm looking for my mother's grave
I'm a stranger at this place     and I'm looking for my mother's grave
Well it seems like to me     uh-ho well someone must stole it away
l was at my mother's grave     when they put my mother away
l was at my mother's grave     when they put my mother away
And l can't find no woman     uh-ho well to take her place
l thought after my mother was put away     l thought my wife would take her place
After my mother was put away     l thought my wife would take her place
I show you difference in a mamother and wife     uh-ho well my wife done throwed me away
l wish l could find someone     to take my mother's place
l wish l could find someone     to take my mother's place
If l can't find no one     uh-ho well you will find me at her grave
I'm standing on my mother's grave     and l wished l could have seen her face
I'm standing on my mother's grave     and l wished l could have seen her face
l be glad when that day comes     uh-ho well when these blues drive me away
