Not the same without the music...
Mama was once
a shining girl,
Seeing life
as a shining pearl
So happy to be lead
Down the aisle to be wed,
A woman at last
with a woman's pain.
When Mama first held
her baby child
Little pink bows
and an inocent smile,
Such beauty to behold
But then Mama didn't know
The sorrow to come,
Her baby grown wild.
"Mama come get your baby
she's crying all alone!"
And with sobs that shook
and broke her heart
her baby hung up the phone.
And Mama remembers
the little lady
She dreamed her baby would be,
But her dreams are lost
in a life to shady
for Mama to see.
Little girl playing
in the sand
Always reaching
for Mama's hand,
Has gone away
to learn to pray
In the devil's land,
And her baby cries;
"Mama come get your baby,
She's crying all alone!"
And with sobs that shook
and broke her heart
Her baby hung up the phone.
Now Mama can't help
It's in the hands of God.
So now she stares
through bars
that forever leave scars,
At her baby,
Lost lady,
And Mama remembers
that tiny hand,
And Mama just can't
understand.
"Mama come get your baby
she's crying all alone!"
Now she stares through bars
that forever leave scars
Oh, Baby,
She's a lost lady,
And Mama
remembers.
