Jones, George - Mama, Take Me Home Lyrics
A drunk man across the street today
He staggers all around
I heard his scream and saw the car
That knocked him to the ground.
And raised his head
He must have thought she was his mama
Cause these words he said
Mama (mama) my wife has gone and left me
Mama (mama) she left with my best friend
Oh, mama (mama) I was coming home to tell you
So mama take me home and help me live and love again.
I saw him lying there, his drunken body racked with pain
He rolled his head from side to side and struggled for life
You don't know how I felt 'cause I the friend ho took his wife.
Oh, Mama (mama) they took my baby from me
Mama (mama) she loves another man
Oh, mama (mama) it's getting hard to breath now
So mama take me home and help me live and love again

THE GREATEST THAT EVER SANG A SONG
I've heard more sad country songs than I could possibly count, but this tear jerker by the great George Jones wins the prize.
Saddest song in the history of music hands down. George sure drew it out it evoked such a dark picture
What a sad song, needed a tissue!!! Ole Geo can sing anything !!!
Whoever thinks "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the saddest song George ever recorded evidently has not heard this gem of a song
i love this song my all time favourite
Proud to say I have a beautiful George Jones collection. The more I find,,,,the more I find! Loved his TV show! Miss him terribly. Thank God his music lives on!
THE BEST KING OF COUNTRY ALWAYS🎤🎸💖OH I LOVE THIS BEATUTIFUL SONG WITH POSSUM R.I.P🌹 GEORGE...LOVE YOU❤❤❤

Toby Crane country died before George .when wsm wanted too go too all talk radio and George helped to keep it the way it was. R.I.P. George.
I have a picture taken with George at the Strawberry Festival, Plant City , Fl. from some years back. Proud of it. He had a home
about 10 miles from there on Lake Gibson in Lakeland, Fl. Once in a great while he would eat at a favorite restaurant he and wife Nancy enjoyed. If you were lucky you might get to see him and say hello. That was many years back.
Ronald Grimes George Jones had a house in Lake Gibson did not know that I live in Plant City one minute from Strawberry Festival
Hey Chris, Thanks for your rely. Ain't that a coincidence ? I was born in Plant City in 1940 Next to railroad by the old ball field on so. Park rd. l Live in Lkld. now for about 30 years. . Good to hear from you. Ron

This mans music is the reason my family had our own band and we sang his songs faithfully and never passed up the chance to see him in concert since I was 8 years old,Im now 52 and he will always be country music's ''Living Legend'.
oh so true!! I really felt like I lost a big part of my family!! I grew up listening to him and all the oldies!! I don't NOT like this new Country
amen!!
you will be turely miss but never foregotten you are the best
GOODBY GEORGE. U WERE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GEORGE JONES.
Awesome Possum, you RIP my ol' friend till we meet again
you were so great ? some say I sound like you ? but only one George your the man ? Rip god bless you ? missing your gospel music
Rip George Jones. You lived well
RIP George Jones,i sure hope your music lives on with us that love you so much...No one will ever fill your shoes....
i second that emotion dude :) & hear you loud & clear . keep that old style twang alive
it most certainly did :( & what a damm shame too :( ...thinks his music & his style of music should be played to the next generation of kids that are into country music so it will still live on ;0
:( don;t think he would really give a damm there midnitepeace . that was just how he was :)
God called you today to sing in this coir in heaven . R.I.P. George :-(
Yea I don't know how to spell so don't tell me , Ok
R.I.P. George :(
country music just died today :(
R.I.P. Legend
To the person who pressed the dislike button are you sick...this is the living legend of countrymusic and dont forget it.....He is what real country music is not the crap we hear today and what they say is country music....ive been to see this man in concert and know country music
I think they should put the singers like Geogre Jones, George Strait and Alan Jackson in charge of what music is recorded in Nashville now, just think..that would sure stop all the crap on the radio now and get it back to real country.
that is sad song i ever hear but it's a goood one.
GEORGE IS ONE OF THE BEST LEFT
it brings tears to your eyes, Saw George in San Antonio, What a GREAT show
lucky you
he only sings the best
My Uncle is laying in a palliative care bed right now, with not much time left. Just prayin`my Grandma is there to take him home.
Its amazing how you go to look for a certain song and click on other videos that lead to another and another, and then you find the most down to earth songs that hit that certain soft spot in your heart.....
wow ,,what Great a song.... mike mc
this is one of the best George Jones ever
good job george
