Mama, oh please dont´ cry
because your boy must leave you
Mama, oh please don´t let the separation grieve you
You little boy is growing
but don´t be down when he´s going
Nothing can ever replace
the warmth of your tender embrace
Mama, the day will come we´ll be together once more
Oh my dear mama then we´ll be happy
and as gay as before

When evening shadows are falling
and lovely daytime is past
Then I´m the hours recalling
when in your arms I did rest
Mama, I don´t want to see your tears
think of the happiest years

Mama, oh please don´t cry
because your boy must leave you
Mama, oh please don´t let the separation grieve you
You little boy is growing
but don´t be down when he´s going
Nothing can ever replace
the warmth of your tender embrace
Mama, the day will come we´ll be together once more
Oh my dear mama then we´ll be happy
and as gay as before

Mama .. MAMA
