Mother Fletcher

By: Tripp Shertenlieb

Full-grown Harlem lady
Eyes as black as night
If caught in a situation
Her decision would be right

Full-grown Harlem lady
Welcomes every child
If one makes a wrong decision
They will be reconciled

Full-grown Harlem lady
Quiet as a mouse
Please invite me over
To your little lonely house

Full-grown Harlem lady
Happy as can be
You now have cleared my vision
This work, I now can see

Full-grown Harlem lady
Expecting nothing much
Couldn’t show up to her house
She’ll make some sweaters and such

Full-grown Harlem lady
With a very big heart
If you find a new perspective
She has done her part
