Mama Never Told Me Lyrics - Singles - Farmer's Boys

Mama never told me 

About things that papa used to do 

We thought he loved us so 

Woah oh 

Woah oh 

Always digging trenches, making fences 

To stop the rain it came a dashing down 

Woah oh 

Woah oh 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said 

(repeat) 

Mama never told me 

About things that papa used to do 

I thought he loved us so 

Woah oh 

Woah oh 

Always digging trenches, making fences 

To stop the rain it came a dashing down 

Woah oh 

Woah oh 

Then I grew older no longer a child 

But a man in search for love and truth 

Woah oh 

Woah oh 

Papa was a drinker 

And he died when a whisky bottle got his knees 

His brother's name was Joe 

Well the years passed and life grew harder 

And then one day the rains came and washed all the crops away 

We tried our best to carry on, my mother and me 

But it didn't work 

I couldn't hide the tears 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said 

Mama never told me 

About things papa used to do 

I thought he loved us so 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said 

Mama never told me 

Mama never said
