If Mama Coulda Seen Me

歌曲歌詞

If my mama coulda seen me in this prison

She'd cry but she can't

She'd wanna know if I was learnin' my lesson

I'd lie but I ain't

She could never tell the difference 'cause

I listen with my mouth

So send me up the river and I'm never gettin' out

If my mama coulda seen me in this prison

She'd cry but she can't

Hey

If my mama coulda seen me in these chains

She'd be fit to be tired

She would spare that pain 'cause

I was barely thirteen when she died

Well I reckon she's in heaven and

I know that I'm in hell

Nobody is a prayin' in a solitary cell

If my mama coulda seen me in this prison

She'd cry but she can't

Rich man poor man beggar man thief

Ain't nobody ever causing mama any grief

First time never mind third shock out

You're a climbin' on the boogie beyond a shadow of a doubt

If my mama coulda seen me in this prison

It'd brake her poor heart

Took her dreams and d**ned if I didn't tear everyone apart

Now I get down on my knees nearly every single day
