《I’m Livin’ In Shame (Second Version)》歌词

[00:00:14] Mom was cooking bread

[00:00:16] She wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head

[00:00:19] Always had her stockings low

[00:00:21] Rolled to her feet she just didn't know

[00:00:24] She wore a sloppy dress

[00:00:27] No matter how she tried she always looked a mess

[00:00:31] Out of the pot she ate never used a fork or a dinner plate

[00:00:36] I was always so ashamed for my uptown friends to see her

[00:00:40] Afraid one day when I was grown that I would be her

[00:00:44] In a college town away from home a new identity I found

[00:00:55] Said I was born elite with maids and servants at my feet

[00:01:00] I must have been insane

[00:01:02] I lied and said my mom died on a weekend trip to Spain

[00:01:06] She never got out of the house never even boarded a train

[00:01:11] I married a guy was livin' high

[00:01:13] I didn't want him to know her

[00:01:16] She had a grandson two years old

[00:01:18] I never even showed her

[00:01:20] I'm Livin' In Shame Momma I miss you

[00:01:31] I'm Livin' In Shame Momma I miss you

[00:01:54] Came the telegram

[00:01:56] Mom passed away while making homemade jam

[00:02:00] Before she died she cried to see me by her side

[00:02:05] She always did her best Ah cookin' cleanin'

[00:02:08] Always in the same old dress

[00:02:12] Workin' hard down on her knees

[00:02:14] Always try'n to please

[00:02:18] Momma Momma Do you hear me Momma

[00:02:28] Momma Momma Do you hear me Momma
