Dust rolled in neath the gap in mommas door
it swirled in circles round and round the floor
she said I got no time to sweep this house
cause everywhere I look theres a hungry mouth

Chorus:
She was a mother of many 
and a daughter of none
she said sometimes I feel like a ragdoll
my ribbons coming undone
she said the lord gave me plenty of nothin
and the devil took half away
child life aint easy for a ragdoll
being dragged around all day
being dragged around all day

now daddy rolled on
the year that I was born
left a cow and a mule and an acre of corn
so momma took in laundry 
to make ends meet
yeah we were poor as the dirty under our bare feet

Chorus

Bridge:
Now mommas long gone
theres weeds round that old shack
i live in the city and I never go back
sometimes I think about her
at the top of them golden stairs
I bet there aint no ragdolls there

Chorus
