Mama Mama Comfort Me Lyrics

Dory Previn Mama Mama Comfort Me

mama mama comfort me
you're the loving one
daddy bought me
electric trains
cause what he wanted
was a son
he wanted a son
oh mama mama where's the joy
in a birthday gun
daddy taught me
how to shoot
cause what he wanted
was a boy
he wanted a son

oh mama mama
don't be down
lift your grievin' head
and tell me what you said
you got no lovin' left around
but don't you understan'
your daddy man is dead?
am i'm alive
but i can't get through
is there anything to gain
if i get out my electric train?
if i should shoot his gun for you
would that tend to please you
tend to ease your pain

oh mama
i ain't guilty
you're not to blame
what we did is done
sure we failed
our daddy man
cause what he wanted
was a son
to carry his name
but show you love me
show you care
show me mama
and i swear
i will make it up to you
in everything i do
all but one
i ain't your son

i'll always and forever be
always and forever me
me me mama
comfort me
