Mama's Dead Lyrics - James Brown

Mama's dead, never again would she hold my hand 

Never again to hear her call my name 

How I miss it much more than I show, I miss it, oh 

My mama's dead 

No one to talk to when I'm, when I'm feelin' low 

No one 'stand me when I, when I go too far 

I need help, help, what will I do without help? 

She tried so hard to make me a respectable man 

She didn't really know me and she didn't really understand 

She worked like a slave and prayed hard everyday 

What did I do for her? My way was not her way

But now she's gone, her troubles are over, the pain is gone 

I wish, I had made her proud to call me son 

'Cause I love her more than she knows 

More than she knew I love her 

No one to cry, no one to sit by the bed side 

No one to watch the light in my window 

No one, no one to come in 

Come in and pull the cover over my head at night 

No one to say, son, everything will be alright

No one to say, somebody up there loves us 

Lay your head on mama's breast and rest, yeah 

Everybody got a mother and you know what I'm talking about 

Mama's dead, mama's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
