Maid of Kentucky

Choices you made, made you choiceless  
Had your children, but lost your life  
I was your last baby, the last you could have  
And you said, “womanhood is gone.”
My mama, you’re the patron saint  
Of all of women’s suffering  
You’re dedication won’t go unnoticed  
I’m gonna wear your name  
When you leave this world  
I’ll tell the tale of the Maid of Kentucky
