James Brown - Mama's Dead lyrics
rate meMama's dead, never again would she hold my hand<br />
Never again to hear her call my name<br />
How I miss it much more than I show, I miss it, oh<br />
<br />
My mama's dead<br />
No one to talk to when I'm, when I'm feelin' low<br />
No one 'stand me when I, when I go too far<br />
I need help, help, what will I do without help?<br />
<br />
She tried so hard to make me a respectable man<br />
She didn't really know me and she didn't really understand<br />
She worked like a slave and prayed hard everyday<br />
What did I do for her? My way was not her way<br />
<br />
But now she's gone, her troubles are over, the pain is gone<br />
I wish, I had made her proud to call me son<br />
'Cause I love her more than she knows<br />
More than she knew I love her<br />
<br />
No one to cry, no one to sit by the bed side<br />
No one to watch the light in my window<br />
No one, no one to come in<br />
Come in and pull the cover over my head at night<br />
No one to say, son, everything will be alright<br />
<br />
No one to say, somebody up there loves us<br />
Lay your head on mama's breast and rest, yeah<br />
<br />
Everybody got a mother and you know what I'm talking about<br />
Mama's dead, mama's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
