Johnny Cash - Mama’s Baby lyrics

She said that she just
Couldn't leave her mother
I met a girl in our town
I tour all my resistance down
I thought what a dream this going to be
I live with her a month or two and
Like any boy in love will do
Ask her if she would marry me

But she was a Mama's Baby, Mama's Baby
Though she love me like she
Never love the other
She was a Mama's Baby, Mama's Baby
And she said that she just
Couldn't leave her mother

Then I said well then probably
The only thing that's left
For me it's a going come back in a year
And so, the year past away
And then I try to win her hand again
She even pact her close, but wouldn't go

Because she was a Mama's Baby, Mama's Baby
Though she love me like she
Never love the other
She was a Mama's Baby, Mama's Baby
And she said that she just
Couldn't leave her mother

Well I hang around untill finally I
Asked her to marry me
Her mother says that it would be alright
We bought ourselfs a little home
And I finally got her all alone but
She stays with her mother every night

Well she said that she just
Couldn't leave - her mother
