[Intro]
Oh yeah
Nana, nana, yeah
Oh mama...
Mama don't, mama don't cry
Dont cry...

[Chorus]
Mama, don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I will bear the hungry, though we're poor
Mama, don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I will bear the hungry, though we're poor

[Verse 1]
Mama
There's so many times we go through days without food to eat
Mama
So many nights we sleep in a bundle like a flock of sheep
Mama
I know what it feels like to have a holey shoes on my feet
So, mama don't cry
'Cause I know I'm gonna make your bitter turn sweet
[Chorus]
Mama, don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Oh, I will bear the hungry, though we're poor

[Verse 2]
I admire the time you stood by me through rough and through bad times
Mama
Scold me when I've done wrong and said
"Gyptian, I don't want you to travel in the wrong direction"
I wish every mother in the world was just like you
Your loving is so kind
Oh yes, my Mama
Your loving is so true

[Chorus]
So, mama don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I know I'll bear the hungry, though we're poor
Mama don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I will bear the hungry, though we're poor
[Verse 1]
Mama
There's so many times we go through days without food to eat
Mama
So many nights we sleep in a bundle like a flock of sheep
Mama
I know what it feels like to have a holey shoes on my feet
Mama don't cry 'cause you know...
I know I'm gonna make the bitter, sweet

[Chorus]
Mama don't cry no more
Oh, better days, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Oh oh
Mama don't cry no more
Wipe those tears, wipe those tears from your eyes

[Verse 3]
Mama you are the one that make me to become the man I am today
Mama you are the one, you showed me sometimes the sky is blue and sometimes grey
Mama you are...
I can't find words to say
But I know that you are the one that give me true loving everyday

[Chorus]
So, mama don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I will bear the hungry, though we're poor
Mama don't cry no more
Oh, better days are there for sure
Wipe those tears from your eyes
I will bear the hungry, though we're poor
[Outro]
Oh yeah
So many times we go through days without food... to eat...
