^CThat whiskey and ^Fhis wild reckless ^Cway Put my young daddy ^Fin an early ^Cgrave

So ^Fmany nights my ^G7mama cried and ^Fthen I'd hear her ^Cpray She'd ^G7asked the Lord to ^Fsend her better ^Cdays

Better days for ^A#7mama better ^Cdays

Then ^Fsister had to ^G7marry at four^Cteen ^FDestroyed what was ^G7left of mama's ^Cdreams

She ^Fcried but then I ^G7heard her say ^FSometimes the best sheep ^Cgo astray

At ^G7night she knelt and ^Fprayed for better ^Cdays Better days for ^A#7mama better ^Cdays

She cried a lot that ^Fday that I left ^Chome I said don't worry ^FI know right from ^Cwrong

Al^Fthough I tried my ^G7best somehow ^Ffour grey walls ^Csurround me now And ^G7again my mama ^Fprays for better ^Cdays

Better days for ^A#7mama better ^Cdays

Mister ^Fwarden many ^G7many thanks to ^Cyou ^FTo let me come here ^G7for the flowers ^Ctoo

Al^Fthough my tears ^G7fall on her grave ^FI feel she's found her ^Cresting place

At ^G7last the Lord sent ^Fmama better ^Cdays Better days for ^A#7mama better ^Cdays

Better days for ^A#7mama better ^Cdays
