Mother never did accept my habit Called all my life a shame Got Mom’s picture on these walls around me She can’t help watching me Tell you Mom you’ve got to stand it Tell you Mom you’ve got to stand it Watch the things my lover do me Never did her shopping in this quarter To shun the neighbours‘ blab Got Mom’s picture on these walls around me She can’t help watching me Tell you Mom ... You told ’em that I was queer And that she shouldn’t Be friendly with me Always put me down It’s alright Ma you nearly made it But you’ve got to know I haven’t changed Now you are able to watch me all the time You had no right to disown your child Sorry Mom
