Tami Neilson - A Woman's Pain

Текст песни

Daddy’s Mama was a child of the nation
Raised on a white man’s little reservation
Three girls, one more in the belly of her Mama
Robbed by death giving life to her daughter
Baby grew up fast, yeah she was a fast one
One half child, the other half woman
Shotgun wedding 'fore the baby arrived
Man run off, left a child to raise a child
Partake of pleasure and reap the shame
The hand that holds the power assigns the blame
And this whole world turns on a woman’s pain
«Throw me a bone and I’ll make you a woman»
God said to Adam in the Garden of Eden
The moment her lips touched forbidden fruit
He said «I'll curse you with pain and a man will rule you»
Partake of pleasure and reap the shame
The hand that holds the power assigns the blame
And this whole world turns on a woman’s pain
