More From Al Green

Mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt it showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut. mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck it showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck. mama, mama, put me to bed i won't make it home, i'm already half-dead. i met an invalid, and fell for his art he showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart. -from "a child's walk home," nursery rhymes and folk tales

Just because i write some songs about bad women, though, that doesn't mean i hate women. i've written songs that show great love and respect for women too. songs that talk about strong, upstanding women and their pain. i have women working on my music. they understand where i'm coming from. so does my mama. i always play my music for her before it comes out. why do you think i wrote "dear mama"? i wrote it for my mama because i love her and i felt i owed her something deep.

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

My mama never wore a pair of pants when i was growing up, and now that's all she wears. it was so funny for me when i first started seeing mama wear pants. it was like it wasn't mama. now i've bought her many a pantsuit because she just lives in them.

It was the world of southern, rural, black growing up, of folks sitting on porches day and night, of folks calling your mama, 'cause you walked by and didn't speak, and of the switch waiting when you got home so that you could be taught some manners. it was a world of single black older women schoolteachers, dedicated, tough; they had taught your mama, her sisters, and her friends. they knew your people in ways that you never would and shared their insight, keeping us in touch with generations. it was a world where we had a history.

India was the motherland of our race, and sanskrit the mother of europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the buddha, of the ideals embodied in christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. mother india is in many ways the mother of us all.
