Mama's Baby lyrics - Johnny Cash

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 gonna 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

Cause 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 till 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

Cause she's 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 she said that she just couldn't leave - her mother
