That whiskey and his wild reckless way
F C
Put my young daddy in an early grave
F G7 F C
So many nights my mama cried and then I'd hear her pray
G7 F C
She'd asked the Lord to send her better days
A#7 C
Better days for mama better days
F G7 C
Then sister had to marry at fourteen
F G7 C
Destroyed what was left of mama's dreams
F G7
She cried but then I heard her say
F C
Sometimes the best sheep go astray
G7 F C
At night she knelt and prayed for better days
A#7 C
Better days for mama better days
F C
She cried a lot that day that I left home
F C
I said don't worry I know right from wrong
F G7 F C
Although I tried my best somehow four grey walls surround me now
G7 F C
And again my mama prays for better days
A#7 C
Better days for mama better days
F G7 C
Mister warden many many thanks to you
F G7 C
To let me come here for the flowers too
F G7
Although my tears fall on her grave
F C
I feel she's found her resting place
G7 F C
At last the Lord sent mama better days

Better days for mama better days
