THE BARBRA SONGBOOK

STONEY END

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

These lyrics come from Laura Nyro's version. She wrote the song.

STONEY END

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, going down the Stoney End,
I never wanted to go down the Stoney End.
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. Going down the Stoney End,
I never wanted to go down the Stoney End.
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 fury and
broken thunder's come to match my raging soul,
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End,
I never wanted to go down the Stoney End.
Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. Cradle me,
mama, cradle me again.
Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End.
Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. Cradle me,
mama, cradle me again.

That's the late, great Laura Nyro, who died a few months ago.
