(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... |
