Lyrics
Third World Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if I were that mother staring from my TV
What if that were my brown-eyed baby
Hungry as she could be
What if that were my family
What if that was my world
Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine
Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans
Lord have mercy on me
What if I was that mother and I was waiting on me
The big success so well dressed on the
other side of the sea
Living with my distractions
Life's been good to me
Maybe she's praying
Praying for a miracle
Maybe the answer is me
Lord have mercy on me
I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased
And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need
Who's that third world woman maybe she could be
Could be mother could be daughter could be sister to me
Lord have mercy on me
