Judy Collins - Mama Mama CAPO: 4th Fret [Chorus] Mama Mama you know how it feels Love never knows a season Mama tell me you understand The heart always has a reason [Verse 1] Doing ninety-five in the middle of the night on an open road Time for a good ol’ girl like me to be bedded down Gotta get home before the kids find out I’ve been away I figure I’m gonna reach town just before dawn [Verse 2] I can see the sun is gonna be comin’ up real soon Hope the children don’t wake up and wonder where I am Gotta get the older ones to school and play with the baby She’s the apple of her mother’s eye and doesn’t she know it [Pre-Chorus] Don’t know how it happened one more time The money’s running out and the other kids are crying Somebody tell me I’m not crazy Doing what I can to raise my babies [Chorus] Mama Mama you know how it feels Love never knows a season Mama tell me you understand The heart always has a reason [Verse 3] Wonder if you know just how it feels to be alone Trying to raise a bunch of kids on nothing but love and guts When the day is over I’m about as wrecked as a body can be I got my troubles but again I need me some kind of loving [Pre-Chorus] Don’t know how it happened one more time The money’s running out and the other kids are crying Somebody tell me I’m not crazy Doing what I can to raise my babies [Chorus] Mama Mama you know how it feels Love never knows a season Mama tell me you understand The heart always has a reason [Verse 4] The doctor down in Lincoln said I’d be alright He said he didn’t want to help me but he’d do it just this once Made me feel so bad I couldn’t stop the tears from falling Made me wish he had to pay this kind of price for his loving [Pre-Chorus] Don’t know how it happened one more time The money’s running out and the other kids are crying Five kids are gonna drive me crazy Lord I can’t have another baby [Chorus] Mama Mama you know how it feels Love never knows a season Mama tell me you understand The heart always has a reason
