I've seen the big fish jumping mama I've heard crickets sing
|
And I've felt my heart start pounding at the side of New Orleans
|
I've seen the New York City with her lights aglow
|
I've been a lot of places always on the go
|
I've seen most everything I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
|

|
I've held a newborn baby mama in my arms so tight
|
And I've felt the warm love mama of a woman in the night
|
I've seen the desert flowers mama where they grow
|
I've climbed the highest mountains covered with snow
|
I've seen most everything I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
|
[ ac.guitar ]
|
I'm sending you this message mama I must say goodbye
|
I live the life you gave me mama I'm not afaid to die
|
Even though I'm dying mama the hands of death are strong
|
I don't want you crying mama after I'm gone
|
I've seen all of this old world I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
|
So mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
|
