Momma don'tcha cry now
Momma don'tcha cry now
Just say your goodbyes now
But momma don'tcha cry
I've been a foolish boy
And I had to break the law just for you

Momma do ya love me
Momma do ya love me
Then momma won'tcha kiss me
He was such a naughty man
And I had to put him down just for you

Momma don'tcha cry now
No, momma don'tcha cry now
Just say your goodbyes now
But momma don'tcha cry
I've got to go away
But I promise i'll be back someday

Momma don'tcha cry
Momma don'tcha cry
Momma don'tcha cry
Momma don'tcha cry
He was such a foolish man
And I had to put him down just for you
