I'm Livin' In Shame - The Supremes[00:00:00]
Mama was cookin' bread[00:00:15]
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head[00:00:16]
Always had her stockings low[00:00:19]
Rolled to her feet just didn't know[00:00:21]
She wore a sloppy dress[00:00:25]
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess[00:00:26]
Out of the pot she ate[00:00:30]
Never used a fork or a dinner plate[00:00:32]
I was always so afraid that[00:00:36]
The uptown friends would see her[00:00:38]
Afraid one day when I was grown[00:00:40]
That I would be her[00:00:42]
In college town away from here[00:00:48]
A new identity I found[00:00:52]
That I was born elite[00:00:55]
With maids and servants at my feet[00:00:56]
I must have been insane[00:00:59]
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain[00:01:01]
She never got out of the house[00:01:05]
Never even boarded a train[00:01:08]
Married a guy was living high[00:01:10]
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 living in shame[00:01:20]
Mama I miss you[00:01:23]
I know you're not to blame[00:01:28]
Mama I miss you[00:01:31]
Got a telegram[00:01:53]
Mama passed away while making home made jam[00:01:54]
Before she died she cried to see me by her side[00:01:58]
She always did her best[00:02:02]
Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress[00:02:04]
Working hard down on her knees[00:02:10]
Always trying to please[00:02:12]
Mama mama mama can you hear me[00:02:14]
Mama mama mama can you hear me[00:02:19]
I'm living 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[00:02:35]
Won't you forgive me mama[00:02:40]
For all the wrong I've done[00:02:42]
I know you've done your best[00:02:44]
Oh I know you've done the very best you could[00:02:46]
Mama I thought you understood[00:02:50]
Working hard down on your knees[00:02:53]
