Mama, don't leave me
Here to die
I'm lonely and cold
And I feel the pain
Taking you away

Mama, don't leave me
Here to die
You have moved on
And I feel a sad, sad cry
Coming on
Coming on
Coming on

Like the love that buries
Your cold slab
Across beautiful shoreside land
Coming on
Coming on
Are the memories
Left in the sand
Just like your life
That drifts away from my hand
These are memories
Coming on
Coming on
These are memories
Oh, lord, give me back
My mama, please

Well, I felt the need to say
Not much more than this pain
I sit and wonder, do a little ponder
And wonder why, it had to be this way

Mama, ooh, mama
Don't leave me here to die
Don't leave
Don't leave me
Don't leave me here to cry
