A letra:
Perhaps it's the color
of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or
maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama you been on
my mind
I do not mean you
trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleadin' or
sayin' I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and
bent, but yet
Mama you been on my mind
Even tho' my eyes are
hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't
bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind where
you be wakin' up tomorrow
But mama you been on my mind
I'm not asking you to
say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I've no place I'm
calling you to go
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend
that I don't know
Mama you been on my mind
When you wake up in the
mornin' baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to
you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you
can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his
mind
As someone who has had you on his mind
Mama you been on my
mind
