My mom might have found it
A little strange
My dad a dime a dancer
Gave her a ring
Her own son came along
A two year old kid
Who learned how to hide
And learned how to kick
Oh where oh where could they be?
Then came another
And another and another
This was the 50s
There weren't enough brothers
The last son was me
And this is my song
About my family
Oh where have they gone?
Oh where oh where could they be?
Oh where could they be.
Haven't heard from one sister
sh'lives 3 miles away
Might as well be an ocean
Of thicket and pain
Haven't spoke with my brother
In over a year
He's a good a liar
As I am at tears
Oh where oh where could they be?
I missed my own neices
My own neices wedding
If her mom was alive
I'd get a spanking
Yes my big sister
She's gone from this earth
But she left behind
A couple of births
Oh where oh where could they be?
Oh where could they be.
My wife wants to go
Down the road
Visit her dad
If he ain't still mad
We'd have a talk
Before they get him
Least thats what he thought
Last time we saw him
Oh where oh where could they be?
She won't give me money
Like she was my ma
Last time I asked her
I felt real small
She wants me to grow
Into a man
Make her real happy
She did best she can
Oh where oh where can they be?
Oh where can they be?
