Sam Palladio - If Momma Coulda Seen Me Lyrics
If my momma coulda seen me in this prisonShe would cry, but she can'tShe would wanna know if I was learning my lessonI would lie, but I ain'tShe could never tell me differentBecause I listened with my mouthSo they sent me up the riverAnd I'm never getting outIf my momma coulda seen me in this prisonShe would cry, but she can'tIf my momma coulda seen me in these chainsShe would be fit to be tiedShe was buried that May 'cause I wasBarely thirteen when she diedWell, I reckon she's in HeavenAnd I know that I'm in HellNobody hears you prayingIn a solitary cellIf my momma coulda saw me in these chainsShe'd be fit to be tiedAh, well, rich man, poor manBeggar man, thiefAin't nobody never causin' Momma any griefFirst time, never mindThird strike calendarWe found that I'm a fool beyond a shadow of a doubtIf Momma coulda seen me in this prisonIt'd break her poor heartTook her dreams and damned if I didn't tear all apartNow I get down on my knees nearly every single dayAnd I thank the Lord the she never had to see me this wayIf my momma coulda seen me in this prisonIt'd break her poor heartSaid, if my momma coulda seen me in this prisonIt'd break her poor heart
