Calypso Kerr - Mama Doh Cry lyrics

Speech: (Mama, I love yuh mama, I just want to tell you unconditional love to you all the time.) 1. As a boy, mama you did warn mih still my life went down the drain; Having fun, terrorising people with mih gun causin endless pain; Since mih daddy drift away I choose to roam and go astray and join up with a gang; Ma you stayed at home and pray, so Ill see a brighter day, not in prison sentenced to hang. CHORUS Mama dont cry for me (x 4) I know how much you care, your love for me sincere Im just a tragic story; I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, Jah shed his blood for me; Mama dont cry for me (x 4) 2. As a boy mama yuh did warn mih; my life now is a mess; Knock about with Tom Dick and Harry, theres no doubt-them boys is real pest; Since ah pa**ed mih S.E.A; ah choose to bling and go astray, living a life of crime; Ma yuh plead with me and pray, that Ill will see the light someday, not in prison serving life time. [CHORUS] Mama dont cry for me (x 4) I know how much you care, your love for me sincere Im just a tragic story; I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, Jah shed his blood for me; Mama dont cry for me (x 4) 3. As ah boy mama yuh did warn mih, as ah boy yes I have been scold; Troublesome-fire coulda burn mih, now prophesy unfold; Is my daddy I used to blame but I brought the family to shame, pure hate mih heart get hard; Ma yuh toiled and toiled and pray for me to chant a psalm a day not to be in the Remand Yard [CHORUS] Mama dont cry for me (x 4) I know how much you care, your love for me sincere Im just a tragic story; I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, Jah shed his blood for me; Mama dont cry for me (x 2) 4 As a boy I wanted mih own way; as a boy I was too harden; I would cuss and refuse to obey my elders I didnt listen; But grad-u-ally I notice mih own family avoided me, they watched me and pa** me strait; But mama you never gave up yuh cried and cried and prayed non-stop--just to save this reprobate. [CHORUS] Mama dont cry for me (x 4) I know how much you care, your love for me sincere Im just a tragic story; I am a victim now, so dont you feel no how, Jah shed his blood for me; Mama dont cry for me (x 4) NB. Yuh means You; Mih means My; Ah means I; Jah means God; Ma means Mama; Cuss means Curse.
