Mama Said Lyrics by Billy Yates
Billy Yates Lyrics
The voice of opportunity was callin’ out my name
So me and daddy’s suit-case boarded that ol’ train
Headed for a new life in a place I’d never been
Wanderin’ when I’d see this town again
We pulled into the station in a town called New Orleans
It wasn’t long ‘til hard times nearly got the best of me
It would’ve been so easy to give up and go back home
But somethin’ always kept me hangin’ on
Mama said there’d be days like this
Son that’s just the way it is
Some times things don’t work out for the best
You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in
Take shelter it’ll pass and then
The sun is gonna shine
Mama said there’d be days like this
I met her in a French cafÈ just outside of town
I gave her my heart and pretty soon we settled down
But she grew cold and restless and took off like the wind
Some times you lose some times you just can’t win
Mama said there’d be days like this
Son that’s just the way it is
Some times things don’t work out for the best
You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in
Take shelter it’ll pass and then
The sun is gonna shine
Mama said there’d be days like this
You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in
Take shelter it’ll pass and then
The sun is gonna shine
Mama said there’d be days like this
[Thanks to Raimundo for lyrics]
