Mama, mama save your drowning child Oh, won't somebody please save a drowning child Won't somebody please save a drowning child I've been treated so bad by my lover Nobody knows my problems and fears Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
I say: Oh, I never did you no wrong Oh, I never did you no wrong
Well I'm Thinking about going to the river But the river won't drown my tears Every night I cry like a drowning child, Sleep in an ocean of tears
I say: Oh somebody hear my plea Oh somebody hear my plea
I say: Oh, I never did you no wrong Oh, I never did you no wrong
SOLO
Oh, Yeah, I'm a young girl that's got some problems Nobody knows my troubles and fears Every night I cry like a drowning child Sleep in an ocean of tears
I say: Oh, I never did you no wrong Oh, I never did you no wrong
I say: Oh somebody hear my plea Oh somebody hear my plea
