Mama Songtext
von John Newman

Two part view with the damp running down the walls
Trying to feed my brother and me had to work two jobs
Never showed us you were tired
Always came home with a smile
Got the coal fire going and the Motown records on

And I know that it was hard but you kept fighting on
Now look at where we are and what we started from

Oh, momma, thank you
For being my mother and father too
I know it wasn′t easy what we been through
I wanna take a moment to thank you


Your crystals and your healing hands
They helped me right from boy to man
And the old clothes that we wore
You still keep them in the drawer
A memory of the life we had before

Oh, momma, thank you
For being my mother and father too
I know it wasn't easy what we been through
I wanna take a moment to thank you
Mmm, to thank you

And I know that it was hard but you kept fighting on
Now look at where we are and what we started from

Oh, momma, thank you
For being my mother, my father too
I know it wasn′t easy what we been through
I wanna take a moment to thank you
Mmm-mmm, to thank you
