spoken
i just guess that you’re wonderin’ why i always sing a sad song
but you see i had a woman who was very good to me
i can remember the times she used to sit down tell me these words
said ‘pickett i want you to know i love you from the bottom of my heart
whatever you need i don’t want you to go to your mother your father your sister or your brother
i’ll be a leadin’ pull when you’re fallin’ down
when all your money’s gone i want you to know you can count on me’
but i didn’t appreciate that woman then
you know what i had to run chase after every little girl around town
so finally one day i got home i found my little girl gone
people you know it hurt me so bad ha ha i had to hang my little head cry
then i began to read the letter she left for me layin’ there it read like this children
it’s too late she’s gone oh she’s gone
‘it’s too late i’m gone away’ she’s gone
ah yeah too late don’t you know it children too late
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
say it one more time too late listen too late
i wanna hear you understand what i’m talkin’ about too late
