Roy Orbison - Mama Lyrics

(Roy Orbison/Joe Melton/Ray Rush)

Mama
Just had to call
Oh, mama
Your baby boy
Just had his heart
Broken in two
She said we're through
But to send her best to you

Oh, mama
I'd like to run to you
Mama
I'd come home today
Leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, be a man
If I can
Mama

Oh, mom
I don't know
I called her tonight
No, not at home
Ya, you're probably right
Yes I'll take care of myself
No I'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight

Oh, Mama
Tell Dad I think of him
Mama
How's Uncle Joe?
My puppy Coco?
Tell them hello
Oh, better go
But gosh, I loved her so

Mama
Don't worry so much
Darling mama
Now mama don't cry
Just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears
Now mom, you know me
Yes I'll always be
Your baby through all those years
