I'm Livin' In Shame - Diana Ross & The Supremes/The Supremes[00:00:00]
Mama was cookin' bread[00:00:17]
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head[00:00:19]
Always had her stockings low[00:00:22]
Rolled to her feet just didn't know[00:00:24]
She wore a sloppy dress[00:00:27]
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess[00:00:28]
Out of the pot she ate[00:00:33]
Never used a fork or a dinner plate[00:00:35]
I was always so afraid that[00:00:38]
The uptown friends would see her[00:00:40]
Afraid one day when I was grown[00:00:43]
That I would be her[00:00:45]
In college town away from here[00:00:51]
A new identity I found[00:00:54]
That I was born elite[00:00:57]
With maids and servants at my feet[00:00:58]
I must have been insane[00:01:01]
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain[00:01:04]
She never got out of the house[00:01:08]
Never even boarded a train[00:01:10]
Married a guy was living high[00:01:13]
I didn't want him to know her[00:01:15]
She had a grandson two years old[00:01:17]
That I never even showed her[00:01:19]
I'm living in shame[00:01:22]
Mama I miss you[00:01:25]
I know you're not to blame[00:01:31]
Mama I miss you[00:01:34]
Got a telegram[00:01:55]
Mama passed away while making home made jam[00:01:57]
Before she died she cried to see me by her side[00:02:01]
She always did her best[00:02:05]
Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress[00:02:07]
Working hard down on her knees[00:02:12]
Always trying to please[00:02:14]
Mama mama mama can you hear me[00:02:17]
Mama mama mama can you hear me[00:02:21]
I'm living in shame[00:02:25]
Mama I miss you[00:02:28]
I know you've done your best[00:02:34]
Mama I miss you[00:02:37]
Won't you forgive me mama[00:02:42]
For all the wrong I've done[00:02:44]
I know you've done your best[00:02:47]
Oh I know you've done the very best you could[00:02:49]
Mama I thought you understood[00:02:53]
Working hard down on your knees[00:02:56]
