Mama Take Me Home - George Jones

A drunk man across the street today

He staggers all around

I heard his scream and saw the car

That knocked him to the ground.

A silver haired old lady rushed to him

And raised his head

He must have thought she was his mama

Cause these words he said

Mama (mama) my wife has gone and left me

Mama (mama) she left with my best friend

Oh, mama (mama) I was coming home to tell you

So mama take me home and help me live and love again.

I saw him lying there, his drunken body racked with pain

I wanted so to help him but I was to ashamed

He rolled his head from side to side and struggled for life

You don’t know how I felt 'cause I the friend ho took his wife.

Oh, Mama (mama) they took my baby from me

Mama (mama) she loves another man

Oh, mama (mama) it’s getting hard to breath now

So mama take me home and help me live and love again
