Lyrics
MAMA WHERE YA BEEN SO LONG?
Mama, where ya been so long? Where ya been so long?
Mama, where ya been so long? Where ya been so long?
I saw you walkin’ up the attic stairs, into the light
I saw you walkin’ up the attic stairs, into the light
And mama, how I miss ya so, how I miss ya so
I’m cryin’ I’m mournin’ you, cause I miss ya so
Mama why ya love me so, why ya love me so?
Mama why you love me so, why ya love me so?
Takin’ care of me, when I was sick
And wakin’ me up for school
Feedin’ me , when I was hungry
And teachin’ me the golden rule
And mama, how I miss ya so, how I miss ya so
I’m cryin’ I’m mournin’ you, cause I miss ya so
Mama and I love you too, and I love you too
Mama and I love you too, and I love you too
I wrote this song, just for you
And I hope it brings you a smile
I’ll be comin’ up, to join you too, in a while
And mama, how I miss ya so, how I miss ya so
I’m cryin’ I’m mournin’ you, cause I miss ya so
Mama, where ya been so long? Where ya been so long?
Mama, where ya been so long? Where ya been so long?
I saw you walkin’ up the attic stairs, into the light
I saw you walkin’ up the attic stairs, into the light
And mama, how I miss ya so, how I miss ya so
