Dawn and Marra — Joe lyrics

Lyrics

Give me food and shelter, well then
I will stay and raise our children
I will grow them strong and humble,
happy for all my days.
I will cook and clean and sew
all the damaged clothes that you will throw
in the corner of the room
while our children laugh and play.
But, I…
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been missin'
And I…
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been wishin'
Give me a seed, water, and time
we’ll grow and plant their feet to mine,
with the knowledge that it brings,
you’ll learn everything.
I am not the rambling kind
and I will say what’s on my mind.
Do you think me to be blind?
Your offer I decline.
Because I…
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been missin'
And I…
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been wishin'
Oh… count
Me… out
'Cause this
dame
is
mine
Don’t count
Me
Out
'Cause this dame
is
mine
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been missin'
And I…
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been wishin'
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been missin'
I will never be a slave on a mission
to give you what you’ve been wishin'
