MOTHER-LODE words & music: Bill Mallonee
admin BMI published by "Once More, This Time With Feeling" music c.2022

Now, I remember when we first saw it
it was bigger than we'd heard
I remember when we got close
no one said a word

3 days beneath the earth
like Jesus 'neath the stone
just how we came to stumble on
and behold mother lode

We'd been running out of hope
till running was all we did
No one knows the secrets mother Earth
chooses to keep hid

3 days beneath the earth
who ever would have known
how we came to stumble on
and behold mother lode

Sure, you could give it all to God
You could drink the whole town dry
You could bind up the wounds of the poor
Give the rich man the evil eye

3 days beneath the earth
like Jesus 'neath the stone
just how we came to stumble on
and behold mother lode
