Don Baker – Mama lyrics

Mama lay awake cried the whole night long
It’s on your shoulders now, you’re my eldest son
I heard the slamming door, I knew he was gone
And Mama lay awake, cried the whole night long

Mama got a job, tried to put things right
She done the best she could working late each night
The social workers say you can’t be alone
That night we lay awake and cried the whole night long

Chorus
Broken glass, broken promises
Empty hearts, fearful faces
Learn to smile, hide emotion
He never said goodbye
I heard Mama crying all night long

Mama came to me, I could feel her fear
Little sister shed a silent tear
We’ll all be together soon it won’t be long
That night I lay awake and cried the whole night long

Chorus
