Recorded by George Jones
Written by Carmol Taylor
GA drunk man crossed the street today he Cstaggered all around

A silver haired old lady rushed to Chim and raised his head
He D7must have thought she was his mama cause these words he Gsaid
Mama mama my wife has gone and leCft me

Oh mama mama I was coming home to teCll you
So mama take me Ghome and help me D7live and love Gagain
I saw him lying there his drunken Cbody racked with pain
I D7wanted so to help him but I was to Gashamed
He rolled his head from side to side and Cstruggled for life
You D7don't know how I felt 'cause I'm the friend who took his Gwife
Oh Mama mama they took my babies frCom me
D7Mama mama she loves another maGn
Oh mama mama it's getting hard to brCeath now
So mama take me Ghome and help me D7live and love Gagain
