Mama Mama Comfort Me

Dory Previn · Other Songs - Dory Previn

Mama, mama comfort me

You're the loving one

Daddy bought me electric trains

'Cause what he wanted was a son

He wanted a son



Oh mama, mama

Where's the joy in a birthday gun?

Daddy taught me how to shoot

'Cause what he wanted was a boy

He wanted a son



Oh mama, mama, don't be down

Lift your grievin' head

And tell me what you said

You got no lovin' left around



But don't you understand

Your daddy man is dead?

Am I'm alive but I can't get through

Is there anything to gain

If I get out my electric train?



If I should shoot his gun for you

Would that tend to please you

Tend to ease your pain?



Oh mama, I ain't guilty

You're not to blame

What we did is done

Sure we failed our daddy man



'Cause what he wanted was a son

To carry his name

But show you love me

Show you care



Show me, mama

And I swear I will make it up to you

In everything I do

All but one, I ain't your son



I'll always and forever be

Always and forever me

Me, me, mama

Comfort me
