Sweet Mama Hurry Home or I'll Be Gone

Sweet Mama Hurry Home or I'll Be Gone - Leon Redbone

I've been so blue and lonesome too

Ever since you went away

My poor heart yearns for you both night and day

Since you're gone the stars don't seem to shine

You are always on my mind

I'm so unhappy for I want just you

Ah but there'll come a time

You'll miss me and you'll be blue

There'll come a time

You'll want me no one else will do

(sweet Mamma)

Your heart will long for my loving

Then you'll see that you were wrong

And I know you will sigh

And maybe sometimes cry

But then I'll be long gone

(sweet Mamma)

Hurry home or I'll be gone

Hurry home or I'll be gone

You won my heart right from the start

I gave all my love to you

I never dreamed that you could be untrue

You have ways of loving all your own

That's what made me leave my happy home

But now you're gone and I'm left all alone

But there'll come a time

You'll miss me and you'll be blue

There'll come a time

You'll want me no one else will do

(sweet Mamma)

Your heart will long for my loving

Then you'll see that you were wrong

And I know you will sigh

And maybe sometimes cry

But then I'll be long gone

(sweet Mamma)

Hurry home or I'll be gone

Hurry home or I'll be gone
