C  
Mama, just had to call, oh Mama 
                                           F
Your baby boy just had his heart broken in two, 
               C              Am       D       G   G7    
She said we're through but to send her best to you. 

C
Oh Mama, I'd like to run to you Mama 
                                                                          F
I'd come home today, leave right away but things won't work that way 
                     C    Am   D       G
Gotta stay, and be a man, if I can, Oh Mama. 

   F                                G
No Mom, I don't know I called her tonight 
Em               F                     G
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right 
              C               A7 
Yes I'll take care of myself, no, I'll be alright 
     F                 G
I'll go to bed early tonight. 

Oh Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama 
How's Uncle Joe, my puppy Go-Go tell them hello, 
Oh I'd better go, but good gosh, I loved her so. 

Oh Mama, Don't worry so much, darling Mama 
Now Mama don't cry, just say goodbye can't have us both in tears 
                   C      Am          D       F                    C
Well Mom, you know me yes I'll always be your baby through all the years.
