Long Lost Mama

[Verse]
Folks agree, Mandy Lee
Is the bluest gal in town
Always weepin', never sleepin'
Since her papa threw her down
Some dark night when you're passing by
You'll hear her moan and then she'll cry:

[Chorus]
Long lost papa, mama misses you
I've been waiting 'til I'm sad and blue
Why, the sun never shines, all I do is just pine 'round the old cabin door
I want to cry and I don't care if I never live anymore
Come to mama, don't leave me alone
I'll forgive you and I'll give you all that I own
Don't play hooky like a kid from school
Come back home, I'll be your lovin' fool
Come back, long lost papa, your mama misses you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Long lost papa, mama misses you
I've been waiting 'til I'm sad and blue
Why, the sun never shines, all I do is just pine 'round the old cabin door
I want to cry and I don't care if I never live anymore
Come to mama, don't leave me alone
I'll forgive you and I'll give you all that I own
Don't play hooky like a kid from school
Come back home, I'll be your lovin' fool
Come back, long lost papa, your mama misses you
