Well now I've been on my own for many a year Seems like I'll never get loved Got me a hand on this brother of mine And I'm gonna get me the rub Turn me the lights down to a purple glow Put Bessie Smith on the wail Bring me the five young daughters And help my ship to set sail Mother Fist never gets angry Mother Fist she never gets bored I don't have to feed her I just have to need her She cries give me the word When I'm downtown in Barcelona When I'm pissed or when I'm pissed off Mother Fist just gives me her tender kiss And some of her sexy stuff And I lock my door from the inside Turn my mind to sweet sweet pain And I wail just like Yma Sumac Mother Fist she never complains Mother Fist never gets angry Mother Fist she never gets bored I don't have to feed her I just have to need her She cries give me the word Now I don't care if I'm in a prison In confinement solitary A soldier lost in the legion Or a sailor out on the sea A beggar, thief or a rich man A gunman mercenary A one legged crook An Armenian cook As long as my mother's with me Mother Fist never gets angry Mother Fist she never gets bored I don't have to feed her I just have to need her She cries give me the word
