Sweet Mama

Sweet mama, lay your burdens down
Sweet mama, lay them troubles down, girl
Come here, and I'll tell you 'bout some truth in life I've found
Sweet mama, set yourself right down

You know pride, it ain't worth a US dime
No it ain't mama
Well no pride, it ain't worth this poor man's time
It's misery to be so jealous all the time
Sweet mama, honey, be kind to your mind
Sweet mama

Sweet mama, girl, now you're sure feelin' fine
You may think this is just a line
I only put these words into this little song
But to try, girl, and help us get along
