Mama's Baby-Johnny Cash

She said that she just couldn't leave her mother I met a girl out in a town that tore all my resistance down I thought what a dream this oughta be I went with her a month or two and like any boy in love will do Asked her if she would marry me But she was a mama's baby, mama's baby Though she loved me like she never loved another 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 Is to go and come back in a year or so A year passed away and then I tried to win her hand again She even packed her clothes but she wouldn't go Cause she was a mama's baby, mama's baby Though she loved me like she never loved another She was a mama's baby, mama's baby And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother Well I hang around till finally I persuaded her to marry me Her mother said that it would be all right We bought ourselves a little home and I finally got her off alone But she stays with her mother every night Cause she's a mama's baby, mama's baby Though she loved me like she never loved another She's a mama's baby, mama's baby And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother Well she said that she just couldn't leave her mother
