That whiskey and his wild reckless way

So many nights my mama cried and then I'd hear her pray

She'd asked the Lord to send her better days

Then sister had to marry at fourteen
F G7 C
Destroyed what was left of mama's dreams

She cried but then I heard her say

Sometimes the best sheep go astray

At night she knelt and prayed for better days

Better days for mama better days

She cried a lot that day that I left home

I said don't worry I know right from wrong

Although I tried my best somehow four grey walls surround me now

And again my mama prays for better days

Better days for mama better days

Mister warden many many thanks to you

To let me come here for the flowers too

Although my tears fall on her grave

I feel she's found her resting place

At last the Lord sent mama better days
