Momma - Bob Seger
I was the baby brother,
5
1b
I was the quiet other,
5
23
And i remember mother so well.
5
1f
I was the little stranger,
5
1b
I never was in danger,
5
28
I could 'a had a manger, pray tell.
5
22
Oh, how she could control me,
5
23
When i was bad she'd scold me,
5
24
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me,
5
11
And i'd cry.
5
28
But momma she never told me a lie -
5
23
Momma she never told me a lie.
5
5
5
21
I used to stay out evenings,
5
25
Stay out too late some evenings,
5
27
And momma would be there seething,
5
f
Back home.
5
1f
Momma, she sat and waited,
5
20
Sat in the hall and waited,
5
1d
Now i know why she hated
5
10
That phone.
5
28
And when i'd come in she'd grab me,
5
24
Right by the arm she'd grab me,
5
29
Lord, when she was finished with me,
5
1d
I'd cry ... oh, i'd cry.
5
27
But momma she never told me a lie.
5
23
Momma she never told me a lie.
5
5
5
20
Momma she could control me,
5
27
And when i was bad she'd scold me,
5
24
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me,
5
11
And i'd cry.
5
23
Momma she never told me a lie.
5
29
Momma she never promised me the sky.
5
23
Momma she never told me a lie.
