Didn't your momma ever teach you how to howl
Did she just teach you how to beg and how to growl
What do you know, you ain't got no home
Going to dig your bed in the fallen snow
To my surprise, you've grown old
Your fire grew dim and your hearth grew cold
When that temper snapped, you'd give me quite a scare
With that backhand and that hot-iron stare
Well I know you really love and care about me
When you tell me that you'll kill me if I leave
But I swore to god that my little girl never'd see
That scared black and blue side of me
