Lyrics for Song: Mama
Lyrics for Album: Skid Row Joe / Down in the Alley (RCA Victor) [1970]
(Charlie Aldridge)
(Mama, mama, it's gettin' closer to the end
Mama, mama, can I come home again?)
Where did the years go mama
Why it seemed like only yesterday
That we were man and wife
That was in the springtime of our years
When everything pointed to the good life.
It started when we lost the boy mama
I turned to the bottle to ease the pain
Oh, I loved him so much mama
When I woke up it was too late to change.
Oh, I went by to school lots of times mama
To see how our two girls was gettin' along
You sure done a fine job raisen 'em mama
Too bad I had to let you do it all alone.
Somehow you never married again mama
Though I know you could've wed any man you ever do
I tried it again, no, it didn't last
I just couldn't find another girl like you.
I parked up on top of the hill
Above your house lots of nights mama
Thinkin' of what could've been
It seemed somehow it helped bein' close to you
While I was wishin', wishin' I could come in.
I'm gettin' cold mama
The candle I've burned on both ends is flickering low
There's a stranger at my shoulder mama
He's come for me
Goodbye mama, I love you mama...
