Sweet Mama

Sweet Mama - Billy Joe Shaver

Sweet mama lay your burdens down

Sweet mama lay your burdens down

Come here

And I'll tell you 'bout some truth in life I've found

Sweet mama set yourself right down

You know pride it ain't worth a US dime no it ain't mama

Well no pride it ain't worth a poor man's time

It's misery to be so jealous all the time

Sweet mama honey be kind to your mind sweet mama

Sweet mama girl you're so feelin' fine

You may think this is just a line

I only put these words into this little song

But to try girl and help us get along
