When you wake up in the mornin baby look inside your mirror
I wont be next to you
You know I wont be near
Id be curious to know if your reflection as is clear
As one that Ive got on my mind
Mama youve been on my mind
Well perhaps its the wind and the dark dark night thats coverin
The crossroads that Im at
And maybe its the weather-r-r somethin like that
But mama youve been on my mind
Mama youve been on my mind
Well I dont need trouble please dont put me down
Dont get upset
I am not pleading
I wont sayin Ill forget
I wont pace the floor bowed down and bent but yet
Mama youve been on my mind
Mama youve been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might narrow
Where you been dont bother me
Or bring me down with sorrow
It dont matter to me where youll be wakin up tomorrow
But Mama youve been on my mind
Mama youve been on my mind
