Oh Mama

Sometimes I get sad

When there ain’t no rain

When the flowers dry

And the river’s low again

 

Oh mama why you cry?

Did you know that this would be my pain?

My pain

My pain

My pain

 

Sometime I get sad

When I think about her name

When I think of all the years gone by

And the time that remains

 

Oh mama why you cry?

Did you know that this would be my pain

Oh mama why you cry?

Am I not the apple of your eye?

Am I not the image of your God?

Oh mama why you cry?

Did you know that this would be my pain?

My pain

My pain

My pain
