Mommy Creole
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Beautiful little Creole girl
Put your hands up
Life ain't always pretty
But don't let the struggles make you shake
Since the sun came up
Until the line appears
You bend down to the ground
To feed your kids (hey, yeah, yeah)
Oh love, love
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Beautiful Creole mother
Put your hands up
Life ain't always pretty
But love has made you shake
Since the sun came up
Until the line appears
You bend down to the ground
To feed your kids (hey, yeah, yeah)
Oh love, love
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
It's you who gives me love
I understand now
What gives me hope
It's not money, it's not jewels, it's you, darling
I understand now
What gives me hope
It's not money, it's not jewels, it's you, mom
Today is a big day
I'm turning around for good
Today is a big day
Dress and necklace shining
You put a lot of sunshine in my heart
Blue
I understand now
What gives me hope
It's not money, it's not jewels, it's you, darling
I understand now
What gives me hope
It's not money, it's not jewels, it's you, mom
Today is a big day
I'm turning around for good
Today is a big day
Dress and necklace shining
Today there's more love in my heart
Today I bring flowers to you, mom, hey, hey, hey
