Song to a Young Seagull
Gene MacLellan (Demo)
[Verse]
D
Don't let your Mama love you too long
G
It’ll make you weak instead of strong, what’s right just might be wrong
D
And what looks good ain't always best,
A G
And when it’s time to leave the nest, if you fail to pass the test
D
You’ll be just like all the rest and you’ll be sorry.
D
Don't let your Mama feed you too much
G
She might get you in her clutches and be just a pair of crutches
D
That you’ll have to throw away
A G
And then one sad day when your hair has turned to grey
D
You’ll remember what I said and you’ll be sorry
[Chorus]
G
Now’s the time time to go before the cold wind starts to blow
D
In any further into your bones
G
Now’s the time to know if you’ve got half the strength you show
A
You’ll surely make it, all on your own
D
Don't let your Mama catch you giving in
G
If you wait for too much longer, those old apron strings get stronger
D
Than the feeling of your sins
A G
And the one you idolize won't be there to dry your eyes
D
She be somewhere in the skies without worry
[Chorus]
G
Now’s the time time to go before the cold wind starts to blow
