I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
And I can't keep from cryin sometimes
Mmmh mama, d'you know that she's dead and gone
And I, I'm just all alone

I can't keep from cryin sometimes but I saw,

Early in the morning about the break of day yeah
Oh I get down on my knees I fall down on my knees,
You know what, I pray mama, mama she's done,
Dead and gone and I have to know when I'm born,

No I can't, I can't keep from cryin sometimes, yeaheaheah!

Oh I can't keep from cryin sometimes
And I can't keep from cryin sometimes
Oh mama, mama, my mama's done dead and gone
And I don't you know that I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin sometimes
