Lyrics:

Mamas put your babies to sleep' story too cruelsome for
them this is. In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and ran
away with a boy. She left her family warm and kind' all of her friends said
you´re out of your mind . 'ife of her own she would find' it´s monday and she´s
gotta grind.

A Job as a waitress she sure was to find' beautiful face'
mind of a child. Boy got her pregnant' Mary''ou cried' For this I am
too young oh why did you lie You said it´s okay if we do it today ' I was
so scared that you would go away. Despite all the papers been signed' mama take me
back be so kind .

Only a child' reckless and wild' needs to come
home again. He promised the moon but won´t marry you. Nothing to do' eating for two' he´s goin´ out with
someone new. Sunshine or rain' it´s all the same' life isn´t gray
oh Mary''ou.

Mamas do your children still sleep' in the safe of their
cradles so sweet. Story I told you I have forseen' Your little angel ain´t
always so clean. Days to come aren´t easy to see' You can change ´em but
it isn´t free. I see that you don´t believe' ooo'oo' but you will see.
