Mama Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

She came up from the country with a smile for everyone 

She left her blue horizon just to find another home 

A lonely girl whod traveled many days 

A lonely heart that could not find the way 

And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone" 

Momma, its so hard to carry on 

And I feel Im a fool who lost it all 

You used to make it all so very clear 

That life must go on though the end is near 

Momma, its a sad and lonely life 

A misty morning rider, she came wanderin' through the hills 

A wanderin' soul appearin' over rainy window sills 

A loser in her heart but in her face 

A smile for everyone under Gods grace 

And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone" 

Momma, its so hard to carry on 

And I feel Im a fool who lost it all 

You used to make it all so very clear 

That life must go on though the end is near 

Momma, its a sad and lonely life 

And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone" 

Momma, its so hard to carry on 

And I feel Im a fool who lost it all 

You used to make it all so very clear 

Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place? 

Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face 

A lady lost in nowhere but her stare 

Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere 

And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone" 

Momma, its so hard to carry on 

And I feel Im a fool who lost it all 

You used to make it all so very clear 

That life must go on though the end is near 

Momma, its a hard life now youre gone 

Momma, its so hard to carry on 

And I feel Im a fool who lost it all 

You used to make it all so very clear 

That life must go on though the end is near
