Hey mama, take a look at me now

Things are going fine here in the big town

Hey mama, if you could only see

All of my friends and how they love me

And I know you say I need Jesus

Mama can't you see I'm doing fine

Oh, yes I know

And I know you say I need Jesus

But mama I ain't got the time

But mama I ain't got the time. No, no

Hey mama, it's been two long years

Since I have seen you - how I need you here

Hey mama, things they aren't the same

Since I last wrote you - Yea things have changed

And I know you say I need Jesus

Mama can't you see I'm doing fine

Oh, yes I know you say I need Jesus

But mama I ain't got the time

No, I ain't got the time. No, no

No, no, mother

No, no, mother

Mother

Well everything's going wrong

Yes, everything's going wrong

No, I can't take it no more

Well everything's going wrong

Yes, everything's going wrong

No, I can't take it no more

And I need Jesus, I guess I need Jesus, forgive me

Come into my life. Come into my heart

Precious Jesus

Precious Jesus

And I know you say I need Jesus

Mama can't you see I'm doing alright

And I know you say I need Jesus

But Mama He is in my life

Yes, He is in my life. Yeah, yeah!

Oh Mama, Jesus saved me

Oh mother, yes, yes

Know that, mother, Jesus saved me

Oh, mother, mother, yeah
