Mama Say A Prayer

The bright lights of the city are a pretty site to see

Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me

Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be

So mama when you pray tonight

Say a special prayer for me

I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding

The good-night kisses i get now are cruel and so demanding

So mama when you pray tonight

And while you're on your knees

Mama say a special prayer for me

The nights get cold and lonely

When you're faraway from home

And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong

Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me

So mama when you pray tonight

Say a special prayer for me

I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding

These good-night kisses i get now are cruel and so demanding

So mama when you pray tonight

And while you're on your knees

Mama say a special prayer for me
