Mama was cooking bread

She wore a dirty raggedy

Scarf around her head

Always had her stockings low

Rolled to her feet

Just didn't know

She wore a sloppy dress

Oh no matter how she tried

She always looked a mess

Out of the pot she ate

Never used a fork

Or a dinner plate

I was always so afraid that

My uptown friends would see her

Afraid one day when I was grown

That I would be her

In college town away from her

A new identity I found

That I was born elite

With maids and servants

At my feet

I must have been insane

I lied and said mama died on

A weekend trip to Spain

She never got out of the house

Never even boarded a train

Married a guy

Was living high

I didn't want him to know her

She had a grandson two years old

That I never even showed her

I'm living in shame

Mama I miss you

I know you're not to blame

Mama I miss you

Came a telegram

Mama passed away while

Making home made jam

Before she died she cried

To see me by her side

She always did her best

Ah cooked and cleaned

And always in the same old dress

Oh

Working hard

Down on her knees

Always trying to please

Mama mama

Mama can you hear me

Mama mama

Mama can you hear me

I know you've done your best

Mama I miss you

I'm living in shame

Mama I miss you

Won't you forgive me mama

For all the wrong I've done

I know you've done your best

Oh I know you've done

The very best you could

But never

Mama I thought you understood

Working hard

Down on your knees

Mama you were

Always trying to please

You are so good to me

Mama I miss you

Won't you forgive me mama

For all the wrong I've done

I know you've done your best

Oh I know you've done

The very best you could

I never understood

Mama I miss you
