Mary & Omie - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]

My daddy was a longshoreman[00:00:08]

In New Orleans [00:00:10]

My mamma kept score just[00:00:13]

Watchin' the Mardi Gras[00:00:14]

Oh me I sat on the front porch[00:00:18]

Watchin' the rails roll out [00:00:20]

I was waitin' for my Omie to[00:00:23]

Take me outta this south[00:00:25]

It was me and my sisters like to[00:00:28]

Wore that front porch out[00:00:30]

And there can't be more to this livin'[00:00:33]

Than loving my Omie[00:00:35]

We're both sittin' back here[00:00:39]

Watchin' our children grow[00:00:41]

If there's a better ace in the deck [00:00:44]

Well baby come on and show me[00:00:46]

If you ain't got a hand[00:00:49]

Then get on your wheel and roll [00:00:50]

'Cuz there could never be a better hand[00:00:54]

Than these hearts I hold[00:00:56]

Me and my Omie we settled down here in Houston[00:01:10]

Oh and one by one we moved my sisters west[00:01:15]

We bought a house in the suburbs[00:01:20]

And we've got four fine children[00:01:22]

We are black middle class because Omie[00:01:25]

Wouldn't settle for less[00:01:27]

We are black middle class because Omie[00:01:30]

Wouldn't settle for less[00:01:32]

And there can't be more to this livin'[00:01:35]

Than loving my Omie[00:01:37]

We're both sittin' back here watchin'[00:01:41]

Our children grow[00:01:42]

If there's a better ace in the deck [00:01:46]

Well baby come on and show me[00:01:48]

If you ain't got a hand then get on[00:01:51]

Your wheel and roll [00:01:53]

'Cuz there could never be a better hand[00:01:56]

Than these hearts I hold[00:01:58]

My children are the first thing in my mornin'[00:02:22]

My Omie is the last thing in my night[00:02:27]

Oh in between I dream about[00:02:32]

That porch back home[00:02:35]

And I bless my daddy for the love[00:02:37]

Within that house[00:02:40]

But I thank my Omie for takin'[00:02:43]

Me outta the south[00:02:44]

And there can't be more to this livin'[00:02:48]

Than loving my Omie[00:02:50]

We're both sittin' back here watchin'[00:02:53]

Our children grow[00:02:55]

If there's a better ace in the deck [00:02:58]

Well baby come on and show me[00:03:00]

If you ain't got a hand then get on[00:03:03]

Your wheel and roll [00:03:06]

'Cuz there could never be a better hand[00:03:08]

Than these hearts I hold[00:03:11]

Look at these hearts I hold[00:03:15]

Look at these hearts I hold[00:03:18]

Look at these hearts I hold[00:03:20]

There ain't no place like home[00:03:23]

Look at these hearts we hold[00:03:28]

Look at those hearts you hold[00:03:31]

Hey my Omie's got a heart of gold[00:03:33]

Look at these hearts we hold[00:03:38]

Take a look at those hearts you hold[00:03:41]
