Others don't have a bed like mine
they sleep out in the rain
and others hearts are guarded from
the blows of random pain
but mama made my arm so strong
and papa taught me oft and long
that if you are to stay ahead
keep eye on other's gain
keep eye on other's gain and know
there's only so much here upon the earth
to go around
and keep your loved ones near
and keep your loved ones near
and let them know just where you be
cause others need you right near by
just as you need me
you need me at the table
sitting down and nodding grace
and holding you just by
laying ksses on your face
and kisses on your face
and elbows to fend way
your eyes and mouth from harmful blows
and body from decay
keep eye on other's gain and know
there's only so much here upon the earth
to go around
and keep your loved ones near
and keep your loved ones near
and let them know just where you be
cause others need you right near by
just as you need me
