Mama, I need a remedy To get over a boy born to deceive Didn’t see it coming never thought he’d leave Mama I need a remedy Mama said Get out Cash and the Possum too Let em sing away those lovesick blues Don’t forget about the man upstairs Just like me, he’s always there That’s three good men, I know will treat you right Let Johnny, Jones & Jesus get you through the night Mama I don’t wanna be alone And hear the devil whisperin’ what I did wrong I’m fighting back tears trying to be strong Oh Mama I don’t wanna be alone Repeat Chorus That steel guitar and me cried in perfect harmony I felt my heartache in their songs With my new friends there, his memory didn’t have a prayer Mama was right all along Repeat Chorus
