- Warren Zevon - Mama Couldn’t Be Persuaded Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- (Warren Zevon)
- Gambler ambled down a country lane
- Looking for a game of chance
- She was twenty-one or two
- And she knew what she wanted
- And she wanted that gamblin' man
- Her parents warned her
- Tried to reason with her
- She was determined that she wanted Bill
- They'd all be offended at the mention still
- If they heard this song, which I doubt they will
- And my mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with her
- No, no nevertheless
- I said my mama couldn't be persuaded
- when they pleaded with her,
- "Daughter, don't marry that gamblin' man."
- Gambler tried to be a family man
- Though it didn't suit his style
- He thought he had him a winning combination
- So he took us where the stakes were high
- Her parents warned her
- Tried to reason with her
- Never kept their disappointment hid
- They all went to pieces when the bad luck hit
- Stuck in the middle, I was the kid
- And my mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with her,
- No, no, nevertheless,
- My Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When my Granny pleaded with her
- Not to marry that gamblin' man.
- I said my mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
- Mama couldn't be persuaded
- When they pleaded with their daughter
- don't marry that gamblin' man
