Lyrics

No affection were the words stuck on my mind When she walked out on me for the very last time Oh Mama, sweet Mama Can you tell me what to say? I don't know what I done to be treated this way In a cold dirty room, That's where I find myself With a bottle of wine and some pills from the shelf Oh Mama, sweet Mama Can you tell me what to say? I don't know what I done, but I sure feel ashamed Then an angel appeared She was just seventeen In a dirty old gown With a conscience so clean Oh Mama, sweet Mama Can you tell me what to say? She done brought back the life that I once threw away She brought back the life that I once threw away
