Charley Pride - Mama Don’t Cry For Me lyrics

I've seen the big fish jumping
Mama I've heard crickets sing
And I've felt my heart start pounding
At the side of New Orleans
I've seen the New York City
With her lights aglow
I've been a lot of places always on the go
I've seen most everything I cared to see so
Mama when I'm gone don't cry for me

I've held a newborn baby mama
In my arms so tight
And I've felt the warm love mama
Of a woman in the night
I've seen the desert flowers
Mama where they grow
I've climbed the highest mountains
Covered with snow
I've seen most everything I cared to see so
Mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
I'm sending you this message mama
I must say goodbye
I live the life you gave me
Mama I'm not afaid to die
Even though I'm dying mama the
Hands of death are strong
I don't want you crying mama after I'm gone
I've seen all of this old
World I cared to see
So mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
So mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
