Uncle Salty - Pickin' On Series, Cornbread Red

Uncle Salty told me stories of a lonely

Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead

Her mammy was lusted, Daddy he was busted

They left her to be trusted 'til the orphan bleeds

But when she cried at night, no one came

And when she cried at night, went insane

Uncle Salty told me when she was just a baby

That she’d get by and maybe someday she’d see

But soon she found her mother’s love for all the others

The pushers and the shovers was the life to lead

But when she cried at night, no one came

And when she cried at night, went insane, ow!

Ooh, it’s a sunny day outside my window

Ooh, it’s a sunny day outside my window

Ooh, oh yeah

Ooh, oh yeah, yeah yeah

Now she’s doing any for money and a penny

A sailor with a penny or two or three

Hers is the cunning for men who come a-running

They all come for fun and it seems to me

That when she cried at night, no one came

And when she cried at night, went insane

Ooh, it’s a sunny day outside my window
