Capo 2nd D G
GI was left alone, A long, long time ago CBy my mother who I never got to Dknow Faded Cmemories of my life Have been Gwashed in whiskey nCights And I’Dm living at the bottom of thGe bottleC G
GI’ve spent my life on a bar stool all alone Never Cknowing why she sent me from my Dhome Was there Csomething wrong with me? ThatG no one else could Csee What’s tDhe reason only I got turneGd away C G
[Chorus]
Mama Dplease tell me why You would Cleave just me behiGnd You sent me off and then you went and had my bDrother Before Cme, a little girl And they’reG the centre of youCr world MamaG tell me why’d yDou leave the middlGe child?
C G D G
GI should’ve gone back home and ask her to her face CBut my life’s become too much of Da disgrace And I Cgot the news today sayingG mama passed Caway DSo I’ll never know the reason I?G??m alone
[Chorus]
Mama Dplease tell me why You would Cleave just me behiGnd You sent me off and then you went and had my bDrother Before Cme, a little girl And they’reG the centre of youCr world MamaG tell me why’d yDou leave the middlGe childC? Mama tell mGe why’d yDou leave the middlCe chilGd?D G
