ME AND
JIMMY CROWDER AND
A SINGLE CIGARETTE
CROUCHED DOWN IN
A STALL OUT IN THE BARN
THREE PUFFS LATER
WE WERE SICK AS
WE COULD GET
PRAYIN' WE'D GET
BETTER BEFORE
WE GOT HOME
SHE SAW ME COMIN'
THROUGH THE
BACKDOOR SCREEN
AND I KNEW THE MINUTE
WHEN SHE LOOKED
AT ME
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
SOMETIMES I THINK
SHE'S GOT A WINDOW
TO MY SOUL
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
AND EVEN WHEN I THINK
IT DOESN'T SHOW
MAMA KNOWS
NOW ME AND
BECKY JOHNSON
ANKLE-DEEP IN
OCEAN WAVES
PANTS ROLLED UP AND
HEARTS OUT
ON OUR SLEEVE
BOTH FEELIN' MORE
THAN EITHER ONE OF US
WOULD SAY
THAT FIRST LOVE LEFT
THE SWEETEST
MEMORY
FIFTEEN AND SHY
I DIDN'T TELL A SOUL
HOW IS IT MAMA
NEVER HAD TO BE TOLD
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
SOMETIMES I THINK
SHE'S GOT A WINDOW
TO MY SOUL
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
AND EVEN WHEN I THINK
IT DOESN'T SHOW
MAMA KNOWS
I WASN'T HOME WHEN
MAMA PASSED AWAY
I DIDN'T GET TO SAY
I LOVE YOU BUT
I'VE GOT THIS FEELIN'
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
SOMETIMES I THINK
SHE'S GOT A WINDOW
TO MY SOUL
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
AND EVEN WHEN I THINK
IT DOESN'T SHOW
MAMA KNOWS
MAMA KNOWS
