Juanita

(álbum: A Stolen Jewel - 2015)

No affection were the words stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me for the very last time

Oh Mama, sweet Mama
Can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I done to be treated this way

In a cold dirty room, That's where I find myself
With a bottle of wine and some pills from the shelf

Oh Mama, sweet Mama
Can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I done, but I sure feel ashamed

Then an angel appeared
She was just seventeen
In a dirty old gown
With a conscience so clean

Oh Mama, sweet Mama
Can you tell me what to say?
She done brought back the life that I once threw away
She brought back the life that I once threw away
