Shenandoah - Mama Knows Lyrics

Me and Jimmy Chrowder and a single cigarette
Crouched down in a stall out in the barn
Three puffs later we were sick as we could get
praying we get better before we got home
she saw me comin' through the back door screen
I knew the minute that she looked at me


Chorus

Mama knows, Mama knows
somehow I think she's got a window to my soul
Mama knows, Mama knows
Even when I think it doesn't show
Mama knows, mama knows

Verse 2

pants rolled up and hearts out on our sleeves
both feelin' more than either one of us could say
that first love let the sweetest memory
Fifteen and shy I didn't tell a soul
how is that Mama never has to be told

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

I wasn't home when Mama passed away

I didn't get to say I love you
but I got this feelin'
