You gave me life
I gave you tough days
You listened and prayed
That I’d mellow with age
Oh mama don’t cry
My brother’s gone
Bad fate took his breath
I didn’t know my luck
When he was still alive
Oh mama don’t cry
Stone still looking through the window
You haven’t said a word
You haven’t said a word
You haven’t said a word oh
Cold meal sitting on the table
You haven't said a word
You haven't said a word
You haven't said a word oh oh
Oh mama don’t cry
When your world falls apart
Oh mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
Oh mama don’t cry
When the world breaks you heart
Oh mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
Her tired skin
Hidden by make up
She never complains
Even when she’s in pain
Cause mama don’t cry
She won’t let you call her angel
She won’t let you call her an saint
She won’t let you call her a treasure
I know she is, but she says that she ain’t
Stone still looking through the window
She hasn’t said a word
She hasn’t said a word
She hasn’t said a word oh
Cold meal sitting on the table
She hasn’t said a word
She hasn’t said a word
She hasn’t said a word oh oh
Oh mama don’t cry
When your world falls apart
Oh mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
My mama don’t cry
When the world breaks her heart
My mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
My mama don’t cry
My mama don’t cry
My mama don’t cry
My mama don’t cry
My mama don’t cry
When her world falls apart
My mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
My mama don’t cry
When the world breaks her heart
My mama don’t cry
I do it for you and I
