She said that she just couldn't leave her mother
I met a girl out in a town that tore 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
Asked her if she would marry me
But she was a mama's baby, mama's baby
Though she loved 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
Is to go and come back in a year or so
A year passed away and then I tried to win her hand again
She even packed her clothes but she wouldn't go
'Cause she was a mama's baby, mama's baby
Though she loved 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 persuaded her to marry me
Her mother said that it would be all right
We bought ourselves 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 loved 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 leave leave her mother
