Mama Couldn't Be Persuaded |
Gambler ambled down a country lane |
Looking for a game of chance |
She was twenty-one or two |
And she knew what she wanted |
And she wanted that gamblin' man |
Her parents warned her |
Tried to reason with her |
She was determined that she wanted Bill |
They’d all be offended at the mention still |
If they heard this song, which I doubt they will |
And my mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with her |
No, no nevertheless |
I said my mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with her |
«Daughter, don’t marry that gamblin' man.» |
Gambler tried to be a family man |
Though it didn’t suit his style |
He thought he had him a winning combination |
So he took us where the stakes were high |
Her parents warned her |
Tried to reason with her |
Never kept their disappointment hid |
They all went to pieces when the bad luck hit |
Stuck in the middle, I was the kid |
And my mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with her |
No, no, nevertheless |
My Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When my Granny pleaded with her |
Not to marry that gamblin' man |
I said my mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
Mama couldn’t be persuaded |
When they pleaded with their daughter |
Don’t marry that gamblin' man |
