George Jones - Mama, Take Me Home lyrics

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
