Mother Blues shows abit of the Northern Michigan locale where it was written and the existentialism that seemed to me then to be how the world stood. It's also a formal song, working in a blues tradition, using the word mama as it does.

lyrics

I want nothin more than nothin mama I can't tell you why
I got nothin more to tell you mom remember wanderin by
your house in the mornin underneath a winter sky

2.
the wind was blowin and I thought I might
be on my way through
through the winter wind I heard mom a voice cry fool
you ain't got no further farther there ain't nothin new

3.
my whiskers froze in the weather mama
my eyes closed dead tight
fell into the snow drift mama thinkin things seem right
drifted off to sleep forever mama for an endless night
