Rare Earth - Ma - 1973

A way to explain the illustration are the coresponding lyrics of the title song:

Born in a log cabin in the back woods - The back woods of Mississippi - She drank moonshine, chewed tobacco - Raised 13 children all by herself - Never looked much like a lady - You see she was too busy providin' to raisin' her babies - Spend her evenings sitting in a rockin' chair - Never had much o' nothin but was always willin' to share - Talking 'bout ma ,talkin' 'bout ma - Every once in awhile when ma would get depressed - She'd go to the cabinet and get paw's guitar - Sit herself down in the rockin' chair - Start hummin' and strummin', ha ha, yeah - That was ma's way of lettin' off steam - In plan old English you could see - That ma was doin' her thing - Every once in awhile she'd shout, "Let it all hang out"
