Stoney End Lyrics

Barbra Streisand
Greatest Hits Vol 2
Stoney End
Grazie papa!
Listen, i couldn't decide which song to sing next... so ..
Wait... no, no, no, it's not as free as that, i have
A choice of two, and i'll see... i'll see which one
You like best. wait... wait... wait a minute, let's do
It fair. it's between "stoney end" and "second hand
Rose". wait, wait, wait!!!
That's too easy, now we've gotta make a choice! wait, wait wait!
Let me do with you, right: "second hand rose"'[applause]
"stoney end" [more applause] ah... listen, i just gotta warn
Ya that "stoney end" i haven't sung for about two years, and so
I have the words written on the floor. so if you see me looking
On the floor... it's the words! i'll try not to look, but i mean i
Haven't sung it for a long time... okay... ready, get set, go!
[stoney end]
Is this "'stoney end"!
Come on!
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 whole 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 whole 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
Never mind the forecast
Cause the sky has lost control
Cause the fury and the broken thunders
Come to match my ragin' soul
And i want...
I want... i want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mamma let me start all over
Cradle me, mamma, cradle me again
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
