Mama

I've seen plenty of trouble

Never been any different I know

You've got to run on the double

Keep your eye on the chariot low

Mama, let your garden grow

Mama, let your garden grow

I've seen plenty of trouble

Never been any different I know

You've got to run on the double

Keep your eye on the chariot low

Mama, let your garden grow

Can't fall down, never give in

A lucky star could be following you

You've got to show a little giving

Every day when it's possible to

Mama, make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turning

And keep your love burning

If I'm running wild, follow me

Maybe we're still learning

Sometimes we're still hurting

Just like a child, comfort me

I said, yeah, yeah

Shake out, yeah, yeah

We grew up by the mountain

Dirty marks in the palm of our hands

We got the eye for accounting

We got the pain of a family man

Mama, help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turning

And keep your love burning

If I'm running wild, follow me

Maybe we're still learning

Sometimes we're still hurting

Just like a child, comfort me

Ooh, mama
