G                                       C
A drunk man crossed the street today he staggered all around   
  D7                                                       G
I heard his scream and saw the car that knocked him to the ground
                                   C
A silver haired old lady rushed to him and raised his head
   D7                                                      G
He must have thought she was his mama cause these words he said

                                 C
Mama (mama) my wife has gone and left me
D7                                G
Mama (mama) she left with my best friend
                                    C
Oh mama (mama) I was coming home to tell you
                G                D7            G
So mama take me home and help me live and love again

                                  C
I saw him lying there his drunken body racked with pain
  D7                                 G
I wanted so to help him but I was to ashamed
                                         C
He rolled his head from side to side and struggled for life
    D7                                                       G
You don't know how I felt 'cause I'm the friend who took his wife

                                   C
Oh Mama (mama) they took my babies from me
D7                            G
Mama (mama) she loves another man
                                    C
Oh mama (mama) it's getting hard to breath now
                G                D7            G
So mama take me home and help me live and love again
