Mama Couldn't Be Persuaded - Warren Zevon[00:00:00]
Gambler ambled down a country lane[00:00:12]
Looking for a game of chance[00:00:15]
She was twenty-one or two[00:00:17]
And she knew what she wanted[00:00:19]
And she wanted that gamblin' man[00:00:21]
Her parents warned her[00:00:23]
Tried to reason with her[00:00:25]
She was determined that she wanted Bill[00:00:26]
They'd all be offended at the mention still[00:00:29]
If they heard this song which I doubt they will[00:00:32]
And my mama couldn't be persuaded[00:00:35]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:00:37]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:00:39]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:00:42]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:00:43]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:00:45]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:00:48]
When they pleaded with her[00:00:49]
No no nevertheless[00:00:51]
I said my mama couldn't be persuaded[00:00:53]
When they pleaded with her [00:00:56]
"Daughter don't marry that gamblin' man "[00:00:57]
Gambler tried to be a family man[00:01:06]
Though it didn't suit his style[00:01:09]
He thought he had him a winning combination[00:01:11]
So he took us where the stakes were high[00:01:14]
Her parents warned her[00:01:18]
Tried to reason with her[00:01:19]
Never kept their disappointment hid[00:01:21]
They all went to pieces when the bad luck hit[00:01:24]
Stuck in the middle I was the kid[00:01:27]
And my mama couldn't be persuaded[00:01:30]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:01:32]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:01:34]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:01:36]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:01:38]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:01:40]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:01:42]
When they pleaded with her [00:01:44]
No no nevertheless [00:01:46]
My Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:01:47]
When my Granny pleaded with her[00:01:49]
Not to marry that gamblin' man [00:01:51]
I said my mama couldn't be persuaded[00:02:24]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:02:26]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:02:28]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:02:31]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:02:32]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:02:34]
Mama couldn't be persuaded[00:02:37]
When they pleaded with their daughter[00:02:39]
Don't marry that gamblin' man[00:02:40]
