Standard (EADGBE)
Mama, who bore me
Mama, who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels,
No sleep in heaven
Or Bethlehem
Some pray that one day
Christ will come a callin
They light a candle
And hope that it glows
And some just lie there crying
For him to come and find them
But when he comes
They dont know how to go ooooh
Mama, who bore me
Mama, who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels,
No sleep in heaven
Or Bethlehem
