with three little kids and a momma

Em            G

he used to sit on the floor in the sunlight

playin' with the dust
      C            D             Em
that danced on the beams in the window

Em                       G
sister had to cook and clean
A
'cause momma she got sick and lean
                      C             D                Em     -D....G
