Mamas put your babies to sleep, story too cruelsome for

them this is. In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and ran
away with a boy. She left her family warm and kind, all of her friends said
you´re out of your mind . Life of her own she would find, it´s monday and she´s
gotta grind.

A Job as a waitress she sure was to find, beautiful face,
mind of a child. Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried, For this I am
too young oh why did you lie You said it´s okay if we do it today , I was
so scared that you would go away. Despite all the papers been signed, mama take me
back be so kind .

Only a child, reckless and wild, needs to come
home again. He promised the moon but won´t marry you. Nothing to do, eating for two, he´s goin´ out with
someone new. Sunshine or rain, it´s all the same, life isn´t gray
oh Mary-Lou.

Mamas do your children still sleep, in the safe of their
cradles so sweet. Story I told you I have forseen, Your little angel ain´t
always so clean. Days to come aren´t easy to see, You can change ´em but
it isn´t free. I see that you don´t believe, ooo-oo, but you will see.
