Don't worry, mama, no, everything will work Out fine, though my love is away tonight You know I'm on her mind Don't worry, sister, no, though you've seen How much I've missed her, friends say That it's for the best, to this my heart I protest, I protest Though you'll never know, and you'll Always be the perfect one for me They say that it won't be long, till she sings Another song, friends say that it's for the Best, to this my heart must protest And I protest
