《I’m Livin’ In Shame》歌词

[00:00:17] Mom was cooking bread

[00:00:19] She wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head

[00:00:23] Always had her stockings low

[00:00:24] Rolled to her feet she just didn't know

[00:00:27] She wore a sloppy dress

[00:00:30] No matter how she tried she always looked a mess

[00:00:34] Out of the pot she ate never used a fork or a dinner plate

[00:00:39] I was always so ashamed for my uptown friends to see her

[00:00:43] Afraid one day when I was grown that I would be her

[00:00:51] In a college town away from home a new identity I found

[00:00:57] Said I was born elite with maids and servants at my feet

[00:01:02] I must have been insane

[00:01:04] I lied and said my mom died on a weekend trip to Spain

[00:01:09] She never got out of the house never even boarded a train

[00:01:14] I married a guy was livin' high

[00:01:15] I didn't want him to know her

[00:01:18] She had a grandson two years old

[00:01:20] I never even showed her

[00:01:22] I'm Livin' In Shame Momma I miss you

[00:01:31] I'm Livin' In Shame Momma I miss you

[00:01:55] Came the telegram

[00:01:57] Mom passed away while making homemade jam

[00:02:01] Before she died she cried to see me by her side

[00:02:06] She always did her best Ah cookin' cleanin'

[00:02:09] Always in the same old dress

[00:02:12] Workin' hard down on her knees

[00:02:15] Always try'n to please

[00:02:18] Momma Momma Do you hear me Momma

[00:02:38] Momma Momma Do you hear me Momma
