A drunk man crossed the street today he staggered 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'm the friend who took his wife Oh Mama mama they took my babies 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
