It's Her Turn To Live

Mama gave us all her life
Now it’s hard to live
(Yeah)
Mama gave us everything, boy
Now it’s her turn to live
Little brother
Brother, don’t you know?
You got the best mother that the world has ever known
Worked her fingers to the bone
Now you’re almost grown
And out on your own
She got the right to be left alone
I’m twenty
You’re sixteen
And brother that’s a-plenty
'Cause when came on the scene
Mama was only seventeen
So she’s still a young woman
If you know what I mean
She got the right
To the man of her dreams
(Yeah)
She got the right
To the man of her dreams
She got the right
To the man of her dreams
Mama gave us all her life
And now it’s her turn to live
Her turn to live
Mama raised us all her life
And now it’s her turn to live
Mama gave us everything, boy
And now it’s you’re turn to give
Well, well, well
Because our mama, our mama
(Mama loves him)
(And? her)
But what us then
Is when a man comes in
And give him a chance to be your friend
She got the right to be loved again
(Talkin' about mama)
She got the right to be loved again
(Mama)
She got the right to be loved again
(Mama, mama)
Mama gave us all her life
Now it’s her turn to live
Mama gave us everything
Our turn to give
Her turn to live
And our turn to give
Her turn to live
Our turn to give
(Mama got the right)
(Mama got the right)
(Mama got the right)
