| Mama oh please dont' cry
|
| because your boy must leave you
|
| Mama oh please don’t let the separation grieve you
|
| Your little boy is growing
|
| but don’t be down when he’s going
|
| Nothing can ever replace,
|
| the warmth of your tender embrace.
|
| Mama the day will come we’ll be together once more
|
| Oh my dear mama then we’ll be happy
|
| and as gay as before.
|
| When evening shadows are falling
|
| and lovely daytime is past
|
| then i’m the hours recalling
|
| when in your arms I did rest
|
| Mama I don’t want to see your tears
|
| take of the happiest years.
|
| Mama oh please dont' cry
|
| because your boy must leave you
|
| Mama oh please don’t let the separation grieve you
|
| Your little boy is growing,
|
| but don’t be down when he’s going
|
| Nothing can ever replace
|
| the warmth of your tender embrace.
|
| Mama the day will come we’ll be together once more
|
| oh my dear mama then we’ll be happy
|
| and as gay as before
|
| Mama, mama |
