Mama, look what followed me home Ain't she so pretty and she's all alone Oh, I'd love her forever if she was my own Oh mama, could I keep her, look what followed me home She just didn't look right with a drink in her hand She too much of a lady for those kind of men She just need somebody to call her home Oh mama, could I keep her, look what followed me home They were buying her whiskey and telling her lies Then I saw the teardrops in those big brown eyes I just couldn't stand there and let them lead her on Oh mama, could I keep her, look what followed me home Mama, look what followed me home Ain't she so pretty and mama she's all alone Oh, I'd love her forever if she was my own Oh mama, could I keep her, look what followed me home Mama, let me keep her, look what followed me home
