LYRICS:

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines.
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus,
Till I read between the lines.
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning.
(Morning...)

Going down the stoney end,
(Going down to the stoney end...)
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end.
(Going down to the stoney end!)
Mama, let me start all over.
(Mama, let me start all over!)
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
(Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again...)

I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes.
But the light flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise.
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning.
(Morning...)

Going down the stoney end,
(Going down to the stoney end...)
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end.
(Going down to the stoney end!)
Mama, let me start all over.
(Mama, let me start all over!)
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
(Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again...)

Never mind the forecast,
'Cause the sky has lost control
'Cause the furry and the broken thunders
Come to match my raging soul.
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning.
(Morning...)

Going down the stoney end,
(Going down to the stoney end...)
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end.
(Going down to the stoney end!)
Mama, let me start all over...
(Mama, let me start all over...)
Cradle me... Mama, cradle me...

Going down the stoney end,
(Going down to the stoney end...)
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end.
(Going down to the stoney end!)
Mama, let me start all over.
(Mama, let me start all over!)
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again.
(Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again...)
