Lonely Mama Lyrics

Lonely mama, lonely mama

How I wish I could have known ya

Lonely mama, lonely mama

How I wish I could have known ya

We'd be twirling around in the Summer sun

Freak flags flown high to Scarlet Begonias

Lonely mama, lonely mama

Still it makes me cry

Lonely mama, lonely mama

Still it makes me cry

Never knowing if you held me

Before you said goodbye

Once upon a time in a fairy tale

A mother and child reunion

Could nothing ever be as heavenly a dream

I've had it many times

I've had it many times this dream

Lonely mama, lonely mama

I sing this one for you

Lonely mama, lonely mama

I sing this one for you

Nothing more than a simple cowboy tune

I'm afraid that's about the best that I can do

Lonely mama, lonely mama

I play it to the end

Lonely mama, lonely mama

I play it to the end

The verse where I believe in heaven above

And you and I will be reunited

The verse where I believe in heaven above

And you and I will be

You and I will be reunited
