Mama, You've Been On My Mind Lyrics - Johnny Cash

When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror 

I won't be next to you you know I won't be near 

I'd be curious to know if your reflection is as clear 

As the one that I've got on my mind mama you been on my mind 

[ harmonica ] 

Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night that's covering 

The crossroads that I'm at 

And maybe it's the weather somethin' like that 

Byt mama you been on my mind mama you been on my mind 

[ sax ] 

Well I don't need trouble please don't put me down or get upset 

I am not pleading I won't say I'll forget 

And I won't pace a floor bout down and bent but yet 

Mama you been on my mind mama you been on my mind 

[ sax ] 

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts are kinda narrow 

Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow 

It don't matter to me where you'll be waking up tomorrow 

Byt mama you been on my mind mama you been on my mind
