Sweet Mama

Sweet Mama - Billy Joe Shaver Lyrics

Sweet mama, lay your burdens downSweet mama, lay your [Incomprehensible] down, yeahCome here and I'll tell you 'bout some truth in life I've foundSweet mama, set yourself right downYou know pride, it ain't worth a US dime, no it ain't mamaWell no pride, it ain't worth a poor man's timeIt's misery to be so jealous all the timeSweet mama, Lord, be kind to your mind, sweet mamaSweet mama, girl, you're so feelin' fineYou may think this is just a lineI only put these words into this little songBut to try, girl, and help us get along
