A jack man cross the street today he stand all alone I heard a screem and saw a cop that knocked him to the ground A silver haired old native rushed to him and praised his head He must have thought she was his mama for each word he said Mama my wife has gone and left me mama she left with my best friend Mama I was coming home to tell you So mama take me home and help me live and love again I saw him laying there his broken body wrecked with pain I wanted so to help him but I was too ashamed He rolled his head from side to side struggling for his life You don't know how I felt cause I'm the friend that took his wife Mama they took my babies from me mama she loves another man Mama it's gettin' hard to see now So mama take me home and help me live and love again
