"No affection" were the words that 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've done to be treated this way
In a cold, dirty room, that's where I found myself
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf
Oh, mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so 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's brought back the life that I once threw away
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
