I’m Living In Shame

Mama was cookin' bread
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low
Rolled to her feet just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate
Never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid that
The uptown friends would see her
Afraid one day when I was grown
That I would be her
In college town away from here
A new identity I found
That I was born elite
With maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house
Never even boarded a train
Married a guy, was living high

I didn't want him to know her
she had a grandson two years old
That I never even showed her
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama, I miss you

Got a telegram
Mama passed away while making home made jam
before she died she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress
Working hard, down on her knees
Always trying to please
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Mama, I miss you
Won't you forgive me mama
For all the wrong I've done
I know you've done your best
Oh I know you've done the very best you could
Mama I thought you understood
Working hard, down on your knees

Мелькнула тень поздней ночью Через цепочку щелкнул замок Скользнула вниз по перилам Двери открыла и за порог Мелькнула возле подъезда Сразу исчезла и появилась вновь Из арки дома напротив Из подворотен, из проходных дворов Мелькнула чья-то тень... И по

Яркое солнце за зимним окном Лживые речи шепчет так часто. Там за окном -32, Он не пришел, и ты так несчастна. Он в теплой квартире, закутавшись в плед, Смотрит по телеку все передачи подряд. Он придумал

Говорил что летать долго буду в облаках И не верил словам ты моим Я с собою забрать обещала до луны Мой взгляд лови, за мной иди. Припев: Поля-поля-поля-поля-полюшка Ты закрой, ты закрой двери Не теряй ты, не

Коршак під небом кружляє, Верба гілки нахиляє, Верба гілки нахиляє, Рікою човен спливає. Спливає човен рікою, Тече туман над водою, Тече туман крізь ліщину, Через байрак у долину. Тече туман крізь ліщину, Де влітку дівка ходила, На свого хлопця чекала Та
