and i told him , i said , all these years i bin good , doing for others and living by your word , aint never had me a man since my own boys dad left and i brought up my boys to be decent and sacrificed to keep them on the straight and narrow and i go every sunday to the church and sing my heart out , every sunday for thirty years and more , and taking care of the old folks two days a week and taking in the motherless children and praying every day in the morning and at night , always grateful for the new day , grateful for my food , grateful for my rest at night and never asking nothing until now .
