oh, mama, come home

now i woke up this morning and looked all around

was then i realized she'd left this town

oh mama come home

oh mama come home

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

there's no one now to warm my bed at night

all my days are long and sad and filled with trouble and strife

oh mama come home

oh mama come home

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

your daddy's getting worried so blue i can't see

cooking for these youngins is slowly killing me

oh mama come home

oh mama come home

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

but baby i'm so lonely nothing going right

blues they hang around me both day and night

oh mama come home

oh mama come home

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

oh mama come home

oh mama come home

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone

oh mama come home your daddy is all alone
