sweet mama

sweet mama

lay your burden down

sweet mama

lay your burden down

just let me tell you 'bout some truth in life i've found

sweet mama

lord. set yourself right down. lord

pride

it ain't worth a us dime

lord no

well pride

it ain't worth a poor man's time

and it's misery to be so jealous all the time

sweet mama

lord

be kind to your mind. sweet mama

lay your burden down

oh sweet mama

lord lay them trophies down

you know it ain't no good to be givin' me that same old run-around

cause sweet mama

lay your burden down. sweet mama

lord

you're so feelin' fine

and i know that you think this is just a line

but i only put these words into this little song

to try

lord

and help us get along.
