Mama never told me
About things that
papa used to do
We thought he loved us so
Woah oh
Woah oh

Always digging
trenches, making
fences
To stop the rain it
came a dashing down
Woah oh
Woah oh

Mama never told me
Mama never said
Mama never told me
Mama never said
(repeat)

Mama never told me
About things that
papa used to do
I thought he loved us so
Woah oh
Woah oh

Always digging
trenches, making
fences
To stop the rain it
came a dashing down
Woah oh
Woah oh

Then I grew older no

But a man in search

Papa was a drinker
And he died when a
whisky bottle got his
knees
His brother's name was Joe

Well the years passed and
life grew harder
And then one day the
rains came and washed
all the crops away
We tried our best to
carry on, my mother
and me
But it didn't work
I couldn't hide the tears

Mama never told me
Mama never said
Mama never told me
Mama never said

Mama never told me
About things papa used to do
I thought he loved us so

Mama never told me
Mama never said
Mama never told me
Mama never said
