Mama, You Been On My Mind

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror

I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near

I'd just be curious to know if your reflection is as clear

As the one that I've got on my mind

Mama, you been on my mind

Well, perhaps it's the wind and the dark, dark night

That's coverin' the crossroads that I'm at

And maybe it's the weather or something like that

But, Mama, you been on my mind

Mama, you been on my mind

Well, I don't need trouble, please don't put me down

Don't get upset, I am not pleadin', I won't say I'll forget

And I won't pace the floor, bowed down and bent

But yet, Mama, you been on my mind

Mama, you been on my mind

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts are kinda narrow

Where you been, don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow

It don't matter to me where you'll be wakin' up tomorrow

But, Mama, you been on my mind

Mama, you been on my mind
