I fell off the wall and scalped my knee wide open you could see the white cap
Momma put a dish rag on it and she mopped the blood up
The doctor said I'll give you forty stitches
Scalpel forceps hold on nurse I need a minute cuz
I ain't seen no knee like this before
I ain't seen no knee like this before
Momma what you feeding this old boy?
I ain't seen no knee like this
I went out that door around ten thousand feet up off the ground and
I watched that plane go on without me I was falling when I saw two
Eagles circle 'round me I knew I was a goner
But one of them he grabbed me in his talons and said to the other now
I ain't seen no bird like this before
I ain't seen no bird like this before
Mister what'd you get your wings clipped for?
I ain't seen no bird like this
I walked in the room and saw my mother lying there
She had white hair mouth ajar her eyes were empty and I
Wiped the drool off her chin and asked if she could recognize me
She turned to me her eyes filled up she started crying out
I ain't seen no one like this before
I ain't seen no one like this before
Don't you think that I would know my own boy?
I ain't seen no one like this
