Porter Wagoner - Mama Lyrics


Porter Wagoner Lyrics

Mama Lyrics
(Mama mama it's gettin' closer to the end mama mama can I come home again)

Where did the years go mama

Why it seemed like only yesterday that we were man and wife

That was in the springtime of our years when everything pointed to the good life

It started when we lost the boy mama I turned to the bottle to ease the pain

Oh I loved him so much mama when I woke up it was too late to change

Oh I went by to school lots of times mama to see how our two girls was gettin' along

You sure done a fine job raise 'em mama too bad I had to let you do it all alone

Somehow you never married again mama

Though I know you could've wed any man you ever do

I tried it again no it didn't last I just couldn't find another girl like you

I parked up on top of the hill above your house lots of nights mama

Thinkin' of what could've been

It seemed somehow it helped bein' close to you

While I was wishin' wishin' I could come in

I'm gettin' cold mama the candle I've burned on both ends is flickering low

There's a stranger at my shoulder mama he's come for me

Goodbye mama I love you mama
