Mama's Baby Lyrics - Original Album Classics - Johnny Cash

I met a girl out in a town that tore all my resistance down 

I thought what a dream this oughta be 

I went with her a month or two and like any boy in love will do 

Asked her if she would marry me 

But she was a mama's baby, mama's baby 

Though she loved me like she never loved another 

She was a mama's baby, mama's baby 

And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother 

Then i said well then probably the only thing that's left for me 

Is to go and come back in a year or so 

A year passed away and then i tried to win her hand again 

She even packed her clothes but she wouldn't go

Cause she was a mama's baby, mama's baby 

Though she loved me like she never loved another 

She was a mama's baby, mama's baby 

And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother 

Well i hung around till finally i persuaded her to marry me 

Her mother said that it would be all right 

We bought ourselves a little home and i finally got her off alone 

But she stays with her mother every night
