Mama who bore me   Mama who gave me   Mama the angels   Who made me so sad      Mama who bore me   Mama who gave me   No way to handle things   Who made me so sad      Mama, the weeping   Mama, the angels   No sleep in Heaven   Or Bethlehem      Some pray that one day   Christ will come a-callin'   They light a candle   And hope that it glows   And some just lie there   Crying for him to come and find them   But when he comes they don't know how to go      Mama who bore me   Mama who gave me   Mama the angels   Who made me so bad      Mama, the weeping   Mama, the angels   No sleep in Heaven   Or Bethlehem
