She said that she
Just couldn't leave her mother
I met a girl out in our town
I tour all my resistance down
I thought what a dream this oughta be
I went with her a month or two
And like any boy in love will do
Ask her if she would marry me
But she was a mama's baby
Mama's baby
Though she love me
Like she never loved another
She was a mama's baby
Mama's baby
And she said that she
Just couldn't leave her mother
Then I said well then probably
The only thing that's left for me
It's a going come back in a year or so
The year past away and then
I try to win her hand again
She even packed her close
But wouldn't go
Cause she was a mama's baby
Mama's baby
Though she love me
Like she never loved another
She was a mama's baby
Mama's baby
And she said that she
Just couldn't leave her mother
Well I hang around till finally
I pursueded her to marry me
Her mother said that it would be alright
We bought ourselfs a little home
And I finally got her off alone
But she stays with her mother every night
Cause she's a mama's baby
Mama's baby
Though she love me
Like she never loved another
She's a mama's baby
Mama's baby
And she said that she
Just couldn't leave her mother
Well she said that she
Just couldn't leave her mother
