Mama, she has taught me well

Told me when I was young

Son, your life's an open book

Don't close it 'fore it's done

The brightest flame burns quickest

That's what I heard her say

Apron strings around my neck

Let your son grow

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave
Dm Am Bb Am
So let this heart be still
