You Could Never Shame Me

Am I dying mama

Hooo Listen to him

A good son doesn't die before his mother

You are going to see me off thank you very much

And I am going to be waiting for you with a good warm shaw

I'm so sick Mama

A good son sees his poor old mother through her old age

He doesn't leave her for a tummy ache

You're not old

You're still beautiful

I bet you say that to all the girls

There are no girls Mama

I have brought you such shame

No Luis only if you did something cruel or uncaring

You could never shame me

There I've told you so

Many things confuse me

But this I know

Let the neighbors gossip

At the mention of your name

You have never brought me shame

I know some mamas have roughnecks

Who never bring them joy

Thank God you're not that kind of boy

I know that you're different

I don't really care

I would never change a hair

You like this Valentin don't you

To him I'm a silly window dresser

That's all I am to everyone but you

Hoo What nonsense

Some other mamas have children

Whose secrets hurt them so

But you have no secrets I already know

And you could never shame me

Let me say out loud

I've a son a loving son

Who makes me proud
