Juanita

Emmylou Harris

No affection were the words
That stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me
For the very last timeOh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
To be treated this wayIn a cold dirty room
That's where I found myself
With a bottle of wine
And some pills off the shelfOh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
And I'm feeling so ashamedThen an angel appeared
She was just 17
In a dirty old gown
With a conscience so cleanOh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
She's brought back the life
That I once threw away
She's brought back the life
That I once threw away
