《Don’t Tell Mama(I Was Drinking)》歌词

[00:00:00] Don't Tell Mama (I Was Drinking) - Philomena Begley

[00:00:04] I was headed north on

[00:00:07] Highway Five

[00:00:09] On a star lit Sunday night

[00:00:13] When a pick up truck flew by me

[00:00:17] Out of control

[00:00:21] As I watched in my headlights

[00:00:26] He swerved left then back right

[00:00:30] He never hit the brakes

[00:00:34] As he left the road

[00:00:39] I found him lying in the grass

[00:00:44] Among the steel and glass

[00:00:48] With an empty whiskey bottle by his side

[00:00:57] And through the blood and tears

[00:01:02] He whispered in my ear

[00:01:06] A few last words just before he died

[00:01:15] Don't tell Mama I was drinking

[00:01:24] Lord knows her soul would never rest

[00:01:33] I can't leave this world with Mama thinking

[00:01:42] I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

[00:01:59] I still think about that night

[00:02:04] And how that young man died

[00:02:08] And how others sometimes pay

[00:02:12] For our mistakes

[00:02:17] The last thing on his mind

[00:02:22] As he left this world behind

[00:02:26] Was knowing someone else's heart would break

[00:02:36] Don't tell Mama I was drinking

[00:02:44] Lord knows her soul would never rest

[00:02:53] I can't leave this world with Mama thinking

[00:03:02] I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

[00:03:11] Don't tell Mama I was drinking
