Caroline Herring, Song for Fay Tabs

E
sun comes up in the morning

E
see that sunrise forming

A
all the pretty colors

E
shining down on the water

B
I don't know about Heaven

A
but I put in my dollar

B
lets see what it buys me

A
rest and a little dinner

walking down the highway
thirsty for some water
men keep looking my why
wonder what they're wanting
I don't know about Heaven
but I put in my dollar
mister would you show me
don't think I'm not learning

maybe it's my brother
always tried to save
maybe it's my daddy
he ain't good for nothing
I don't know about Heaven
but I put in my dollar
don't you try to stop
till I get where I'm going

watching all the women
making sense of living
all their little babies
aren't we supposed to have them
I don't know about Heaven
but I put in my dollar
answers for the taking
now that I'm a woman

sun comes up in the morning
see that sunrise forming
all the pretty colors
shining down on the water
I don't know about Heaven
but I put in my dollar
I don't know about Heaven
my purse is on my shoulder

I don't know about Heaven
but my purse is on my shoulder
