Oh, I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so,
G D E A
she gave me every chance she could, to make my life a go.

But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on,
G D D A D
but I could have gone right, just as easy as I went wrong.

I went to the places, where sin just waits for you,

Now here I sit in prison, just waiting for the day

when they'll lead me through that door and burn my life away.

Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own,
G D D A D
for I could have gone right, just as easy as I went wrong.
