Heavy Load – Ania Hardy

Mamma’s gone down to the riverside
To wash the work from her clothes
She needs a clean hand
Before the baby shows
‘Cos Mamma’s got a heavy load

Mamma’s gone down to the riverside
To wash the dirt between her toes
She needs a clean sole
Before the baby grows
‘Cos Mamma’s got a heavy load

Maybe one day she’ll reap what she sows
But for now Mamma just wants to know
How to raise her sweet child
‘Cos God only knows
Mamma’s got a heavy load
Oh Mamma’s got a heavy load
Yeah Mamma’s got a heavy load

Mamma’s gone down to the riverside
To wash the hurt from her woes
She needs a clean heart
Before the baby knows
‘Cos Mamma’s got a heavy load

Maybe one day she’ll reap what she sows
But for now Mamma just wants to know
How to raise her sweet child
‘Cos God only knows
Mamma’s got a heavy load
Oh Mamma’s got a heavy load
Yeah Mamma’s got a heavy load
