She came up from the country
with a smile for everyone
just to find another home
A lonely girl who traveled many days
A lonely heart that could not find a way
it's a hard life now you're gone
Mama, it's so hard to carry on
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
Life must go on though, the end is near
it's a sad and lonely life
she came wan dering through the hills
peering over rain and window sills
Loser in her heart, but in her face
A smile for everyone under God's grace
it's so hard like now you're gone
Mama, it's so hard to carry on
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all
Life must go on though the end is near
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
what's the search for in this place?
Gateway to the city, night sky,
The lady lost in nowhere, but her stare
her life to start somewhere
She said, Mama, it's a hard life,
Mama, it's so hard to carry on
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
