| A drunk man across the street today
|
| He staggers all around
|
| I heard his scream and saw the car
|
| That knocked him to the ground.
|
| A silver haired old lady rushed to him
|
| And raised his head
|
| He must have thought she was his mama
|
| Cause these words he said
|
| Mama (mama) my wife has gone and left me
|
| Mama (mama) she left with my best friend
|
| Oh, mama (mama) I was coming home to tell you
|
| So mama take me home and help me live and love again.
|
| I saw him lying there, his drunken body racked with pain
|
| I wanted so to help him but I was to ashamed
|
| He rolled his head from side to side and struggled for life
|
| You don’t know how I felt 'cause I the friend ho took his wife.
|
| Oh, Mama (mama) they took my baby from me
|
| Mama (mama) she loves another man
|
| Oh, mama (mama) it’s getting hard to breath now
|
| So mama take me home and help me live and love again |
