LYRICS:
Lonely mama, lonely mama
How I wish I could have known ya
Lonely mama, lonely mama
How I wish I could have known ya
We'd be twirling around in the Summer sun
Freak flags flown high to Scarlet Begonias
Lonely mama, lonely mama
Still it makes me cry
Lonely mama, lonely mama
Still it makes me cry
Never knowing if you held me
Before you said goodbye
Once upon a time in a fairy tale
A mother and child reunion
Could nothing ever be as heavenly a dream
I've had it many times
I've had it many times this dream
Lonely mama, lonely mama
I sing this one for you
Lonely mama, lonely mama
I sing this one for you
Nothing more than a simple cowboy tune
I'm afraid that's about the best that I can do
Lonely mama, lonely mama
I play it to the end
Lonely mama, lonely mama
I play it to the end
The verse where I believe in heaven above
And you and I will be reunited
The verse where I believe in heaven above
And you and I will be
You and I will be reunited
