Oh Mother Of Mine - alternate version
Oh-oh-oh, mother
Oh, mother of mine, I, I've been blind
The things that you tell me, yeah
I paid, I really paid it no mind
Oh please, oh please forgive me, yes, I know, yes, I know I was wrong
And now, believe me now I know, yeah, my place, my place is at home
Can't you see I've been crying now (oh yes he's been crying)
Almost dying (almost, almost dying)
I need your advice mama, yeah (he needs your advice)
Please come on and help me now (he needs your advice)
Oh, mama (please mother)
Oh, mama (please mother)
Oh, mama (please mother)
Come on and tell me right now
How much about love, you don't understand?
Yes, you know that you wrong
Or when you thought you were wrong
Yes, it was that young girl
She put you in such a whirl
Yeah, I said mama don't you worry now, yeah
I guess I had it coming to me anyhow, yes I did
I am gonna do everything you say
Oh, each and every day
I'm gonna be a man (oh yes he's gonna be a man)
Yes, I am, now that I understand (now he understands)
Hmm, I'm not gonna be no fool no more (he's not fool no more)
Yeah, because you told me so (like, like he was before)
Whoa, mother (pleases mother)
Oh, mother (please mother)
Oh, mother (please mother)
Come on, tell me now right now (mother, he is gonna be alright)
I am gonna hear what you say (mother, he is gonna be alright)
I'm gonna do what you tell me to do every day (mother, he is gonna be alright)
Oh, mother of mine, I, I've been blind
The things that you tell me, yeah

Oh please, oh please forgive me, yes, I know, yes, I know I was wrong
And now, believe me now I know, yeah, my place, my place is at home
Can't you see I've been crying now (oh yes he's been crying)
