Extra Blues

As a boy
I was undressed
And described as unclean
Since then I have never redressed
I fully said what I mean
Father's hell
So difficult to bear
And mother concurred
It sat in her like an overdue [?]
So difficult to bear
The doctor said
The boy never survived
In the wild
But I grew
Like a vine
On some
Hazy mansion
Hazy mansion
Hazy mansion
'Cause I knew
What I needed to love
And I loved it well
Later, a lady undressed
And then left
Telling me
I'd never survive
In the wild

Since then I have never redressed her
I fully said what she means
Then the baby dies
Damped down
She was not ours to cry for
She cried for none
Not for some
Crazy mother
Not for some
Crazy mother
'Cause she knew what she needed to love
And she loved it well
She loved it well

As a boy
As a boy
As a boy
