Lonely Mama

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
