mama don't cry

morning comes
it's a new day
got to be be be
be on my way

take my hat off the stand
open up the door
mama you promised you won't cry
after me

mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
after me

got to go go go
go far away
but you know know know
know i really don't want to

and we both understand
i'll be back soon as i can
so mama please promise you won't cry
after me

mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
after me

it's a hard hard world
for a man to make a living
and a man has got to do
what a man has got to do

i would never mean to hurt you
but a chained man cannot run
but dear mama please promise you won't cry
after me

mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
mama
you promised don't cry
after me
