Cream (also "The Cream") was a 1960s britishband which featured guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Jack Bruce, and drummer Ginger Baker. Celebrated as one of the first power trios, their sound was characterised by a melange of blues and psychedelia. Cream combined Clapton's blues guitar playing with the airy voice of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker. Cream's music included songs based on traditional blues, such as "Crossroads" , "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Spoonful", and more eccentric songs such as "Strange Brew", "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Toad". Cream's biggest hits were "I Feel Free", "NSU", "I'm So Glad", "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room", "Crossroads", and "Badge".

Mother's Lament Lyrics

Cream

(traditional)
Are we wollin'? A one, a two, a free, a four...
A mother was washing her baby one night,
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.
The mother was poor and the baby was thin,
'Twas naught but an skelingtin covered with skin.
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"Oh, where 'as my baby gone?" The angels replied:
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug 'ole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should 'ave been washed in a jug, in a jug.
Your baby is perfectly happy;
He won't need a bath anymore.
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,
Not lost but gone before.
Thankyou,
Do you wanna do it again?
