Tammy Wynette - Unwed Fathers lyrics



In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
She sits there waiting, in a family way
"Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her
Tell all the others, I'll write someday"

From an teenage lover to an unwed mother
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
But unwed fathers they can't be bothered
They run like water through a mountain stream

Harmonica break

In a cold and gray town a nurse say's "Lay down"
'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
Someone's children out having children
In a gray stone building all alone

From an teenage lover to an unwed mother
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
But unwed fathers they can't be bothered
They run like water through a mountain stream

Dobro break

On somewhere else bound, nightime Greyhound
She bows her head down, hummin' lullabies
Scared them crazy she holds her baby
Said the things won’t may be you got her baby’s eyes

From an teenage lover to an unwed mother
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
But unwed fathers can't be bothered
They run like water through a mountain stream
Well, they run like water, through a mountain stream

Harmonica to end
