Mamas put your babies to sleep, story too cruelsome for them this is. 

In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents and ran away with a boy. 

She left her family warm and kind, all of her friends said 

"you´re out of your mind". 

Life of her own she would find, it´s Monday and she´s gotta grind.



A Job as a waitress she sure was to find, beautiful face, mind of a child. 

Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried," 

For this I am too young 

Oh why did you lie" You said "it´s okay if we do it today", 

I was so scared that you would go away. 

"Despite all the papers been signed, 

Mama take me back be so kind".



He promised the moon but won´t marry you. 

Nothing to do, eating for two, he´s goin´ out with someone new. 

Sunshine or rain, it´s all the same, life isn´t gray

Oh Mary-Lou.



Mamas do your children still sleep, 

In the safe of their cradles so sweet. 

Story I told you I have forseen, 

Your little angel ain´t always so clean. 

You can change ´em but it isn´t free. 

I see that you don´t believe, ooo-oo, but you will see.
