A drunk man crossed the street today he staggered all around
D7 G
I heard his scream and saw the car that knocked him to the ground
C
A silver haired old lady rushed to him and raised his head
D7 G
He must have thought she was his mama cause these words he said
C
Mama mama my wife has gone and left me
D7 G
Mama mama she left with my best friend
C
Oh mama mama I was coming home to tell you
G D7 G
So mama take me home and help me live and love again
C
I saw him lying there his drunken body racked with pain
D7 G
I wanted so to help him but I was to ashamed
C
He rolled his head from side to side and struggled for life
D7 G
You don't know how I felt 'cause I'm the friend who took his wife
C
Oh Mama mama they took my babies from me
D7 G
Mama mama she loves another man
C
Oh mama mama it's getting hard to breath now
G D7 G
So mama take me home and help me live and love again
