    Little Amsterdam

    In a southern town

    Hominy get it on the plate girl

    Momma keep your head down

    Momma it wasn''t my bullet



    Don''t take me back to the RAnge

    I''m just comin out of the cell in my brain

    Girl you got to know these days

    Which side your on



    Mamma got shit

    She loved a brown man

    Then she built a bridge in the Sheriff''s bed

    She''d do anyting to save her man

    You see her olives are cold pressed

    And her best friend is a sun dress

    But Momma

    It wasn''t my bullet



    Round and a round and a round I go

    Round and a round this time for keeps

    Father only you can save my sould

    And playing that organ must count

    For something

    Girl you got to know these days

    Which side your on

    Little Amterdam

    Shut down today

    They buried her with a

    Butter bean bouquet

    And the Sheriff now can''t ride away

    And I won''t say

    He shouldna paid

    But Momma

    It wasn''t my bullet
