My Brother he taught me how to fly
My Papa he taught me how to cry
Wait for me, wait for me to show you
Wait for me, wait for me to show you

My Mama she touched me down my soul
And I feel it
I feel it most
So show me your soul and I'll show you mine
So show me your soul and I'll show you mine

So who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're done fighting that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me

So who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're done fighting that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me

Who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're done fighting that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me
Get on that ship and sail back to me
