(Repeat Above)
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll be and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma oh momma let me please leave.

I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg.
