(Gram Parsons Chris Hillman)

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind

When she walked out on me for the very last time

Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say

I don't know what I've done to be treated this way

In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself

With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf

Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say

I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed



Then an angel appeared she was just 17

In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean

Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say

She's brought back the life that I once threw away
