I'm Livin' In Shame - The Supremes[00:00:00]
Mom was cookin' bread[00:00:15]
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head[00:00:16]
Always had her stockings low[00:00:20]
Rolled to her feet she just didn't know[00:00:21]
She wore a sloppy dress[00:00:24]
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess[00:00:26]
Out of the pot she ate[00:00:31]
Never used a fork or a dinner plate[00:00:32]
I was always so afraid[00:00:36]
For my uptown friends to see her[00:00:38]
Afraid one day when I was grown[00:00:40]
That I would be her[00:00:42]
In a college town[00:00:48]
Away from home a new identity I found[00:00:51]
Said I was born elite[00:00:54]
With maids and servants at my feet[00:00:57]
I must have been insane[00:00:59]
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain[00:01:02]
She never got out of the house[00:01:06]
Never even boarded a train[00:01:08]
Married a guy was livin' high[00:01:11]
I didn't want him to know her[00:01:13]
She had a grandson two years old[00:01:15]
That I never even showed her[00:01:17]
I'm livin' in shame[00:01:19]
Mama I miss you[00:01:23]
I know you're not to blame[00:01:28]
Mama I miss you[00:01:32]
Came a telegram[00:01:53]
Mama passed away while making homemade jam[00:01:54]
Before she died[00:01:58]
She cried to see me by her side[00:01:59]
She always did her best[00:02:02]
Oh cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress[00:02:04]
Workin' hard down on her knees[00:02:10]
Always tryin' to please[00:02:11]
Mama mama mama can you hear me [00:02:14]
Mama mama mama can you hear me [00:02:19]
I'm livin' in shame[00:02:23]
Mama I miss you[00:02:26]
I know you've done your best[00:02:32]
Mama I miss you[00:02:34]
Won't you forgive me mom[00:02:40]
For all the wrong I've done [00:02:42]
I know you've done your best[00:02:44]
I know you've done the very best you could[00:02:46]
But I never understood[00:02:51]
Workin' hard down on your knees[00:02:53]
