Lyrics to Slipped Away (The Ballad Of Luretha Vaird)
Good moring son I'ts off to school you go Mom's gone to work you know
Mom when are you coming home
There's a bank robbery that's going on Ooh this very morn Mom's gone for sure Mom when are you coming home
Officers the bank is being held By two gunmen that don't mean well
Mom's on the job can't you tell
Mom when are you coming home
Mom when are you coming home
To see your son
Daughter don't be a policeman
Please be a school teacher instead
You're so good with children
Mom when are you coming home
Teacher please excuse these boys from class
Their mother gone from a shotgun blast
Another cop shot down on potrol Mom when are you coming home
Mom when are you coming home
To see your son
The gangsters killed our mother dead
All is lost from our faimily They tried to save our mom in vain
She drowned in blood and she was not saved
The bank is open and the robbers jailed
And Mom won't be coming home
The way they run their world so wrong How can us brothers get along
Mom when are you coming home
