Mama told me when I was young Don’t mess with fire Always finish what you’ve begun And don’t deal with liars
Ooooh
Don’t walk too tall, don’t talk too wise Don’t make dreams your master She’s been gone for three years now I can still hear her calling
When the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man?
Last night as I laid down to sleep I saw the ghost of my mama By my bedside praying for me She said son, your time is coming
But when the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man?
When the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man?
