A jack man cross the street today he stand all alone
I heard a screem and saw a cop that knocked him to the ground
A silver haired old native rushed to him and praised his head
He must have thought she was his mama for each word he said
Mama my wife has gone and left me mama she left with my best friend
Mama I was coming home to tell you
So mama take me home and help me live and love again
I saw him laying there his broken body wrecked with pain
I wanted so to help him but I was too ashamed
He rolled his head from side to side struggling for his life
You don't know how I felt cause I'm the friend that took his wife
Mama they took my babies from me mama she loves another man
Mama it's gettin' hard to see now
So mama take me home and help me live and love again
