Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

She said that she just couldn't leave her mother
I met a girl out in a town that tore all my resistance down
I thought what a dream this oughta be
I went with her a month or two and like any boy in love will do
Asked her if she would marry me

But she was a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
Though she loved me like she never loved another
She was a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
And she said that she just couldn’t leave her mother

Then I said well then probably the only thing that’s left for me
Is to go and come back in a year or so
A year passed away and then I tried to win her hand again
She even packed her clothes but she wouldn’t go

Cause she was a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
Though she loved me like she never loved another
She was a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
And she said that she just couldn’t leave her mother

Well I hang around till finally I persuaded her to marry me
Her mother said that it would be all right
We bought ourselves a little home and I finally got her off alone
But she stays with her mother every night

Cause she's a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
Though she loved me like she never loved another
She's a mama’s baby, mama’s baby
And she said that she just couldn’t leave her mother
Well she said that she just couldn’t leave her mother
