"my kind's been around forever
and i claim to be one of the few
the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
'cause i'm gay as a choir boy for you
you got hair that recalls me of rivers
runs softly while you dream of you
but your heart is so cold that it shivers
you breathe, but my darling your blood still runs blue
and i followed you into the party
that no one invited me to
but i turned to the wall before it started
to diswatch the mistreat of you
i watched you forget your belongings
and belongings you've got quite a few
but i filled up your bag with my longings
and searched through this whole, wide city for you
but the walls of my childhood must crumble
and childhoods i've had quite a few
and my love is so blind that it stumbles
but now, mama, now it don't trip over you
'cause i heard that you got you a lover
and lovers you've got one or two
but you can't tell one from the other
and now, mama, now you're nothing to you
and it's down by the riverside (wasting away)
and it's down by the riverside (beating the clay)
and it's down by the riverside wasting away
and i'll watch your frail features adieu
and it's down by the riverside, feet in the clay
'cause mama you're nothing to you"
these are the lyrics to the version i have:
