Lyrics

Oh mama, where you goin
I been down so long
I want an answer, I want it right now
Why?d he have to die so young

And I, I feel the heartbreak
And I, I feel the pain
And every chance he took, another chance he shunned
He?d hang on, then he slipped away

Oh mama, I hear you cryin
Oh I been down so long
I want an answer, I want it right now
Oh why?d he have to die so young

And I, I hear the heartbreak
And I, I feel the pain
And every chance he took, another chance he shunned
He?d hang on, then he slipped away

And now, I feel it in my heart
I see it all around, I?m takin it apart
With every chance he took, another chance he took
He?d hang on, then he slipped away

(Repeat verse 1 & 2)

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Then he slipped away
