The Tiger Lillies - I Cried lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - I Cried lyrics]
When I was a little girl my mother died
My father took himself a new bride
My father didn't know his new wife's ways
I was like a servant
Scrubbed the floor every day
I cried i cried
How I missed my mother
The only one who me loved as I upon my knees
On the floor would scrub
My stepmother would only
Give me scraps to eat
Whenever she felt like it
She used to me beat
I cried i cried
My father couldn't see the evil of his wife
The misery with which she drove my life
My father was a weak man
My father he was weak
And of my evil stepmother
Not a bad word I could speak
I cried i cried
I cried over my mother's grave
I cried every night my tears flowed over it
Until the daylight
And if my stepmother saw any of this
She would laugh in my face
And she would take the piss
I cried i cried
My father took himself a new bride
My father didn't know his new wife's ways
I was like a servant
Scrubbed the floor every day
I cried i cried
How I missed my mother
The only one who me loved as I upon my knees
On the floor would scrub
My stepmother would only
Give me scraps to eat
Whenever she felt like it
She used to me beat
I cried i cried
My father couldn't see the evil of his wife
The misery with which she drove my life
My father was a weak man
My father he was weak
And of my evil stepmother
Not a bad word I could speak
I cried i cried
I cried over my mother's grave
I cried every night my tears flowed over it
Until the daylight
And if my stepmother saw any of this
She would laugh in my face
And she would take the piss
I cried i cried
