Текст пісні Mama's Last - David Lee Murphy

Mama's Last

Well, I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother, he? s in prison
And I doubt he? ll be gettin? out again
But I watch it from the cradle
Though mama tried to hide the truth from me
She did all that she was able
And Lord, I guess the rest is history
But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
?Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last
Mama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin? hand
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I am
When they? d pass the plate on Sunday
I know it? d break her heart if she knew now
While she was puttin? in her quarters
I was reaching in and taking dollars out
But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
?Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last
But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
?Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last
No, I? m not the first mistake that she ever made
But I was mama? s last
