On foreclosures & the state of our “democracy”

That’s what I heard momma say

By Ed Felien

Chorus:
G D
They took our home away today
C D
But momma says we’ll be OK
C D G
That’s what I heard momma say.

Verse:
Am Em
Somehow the money’s no good
Am Em
But momma worked just as hard as she could
Am Em
The bank said it wasn’t enough
Am Em
We had to pack up all of our stuff
G D G
And they took our home away today.

Second Verse:
Doggie ran away today
No matter what he wouldn’t stay
One look and he was gone
Momma said, “What’s done, is done!”
They took our home away today

Third verse:
Daddy will never find me now
I always hoped he would somehow
I always hoped he’d look for me
And we could be a family
They took our home away today.

Chorus
