Mama Say a Prayer

The Bright Lights of the City Are a Pretty Site to See.

Perhaps They're Extra Pretty to a Country Girl Like Me.

Temptation Waits At Every Turn and It Won't Let Me Be.

So Mama, When You Pray Tonight, Say a Special Prayer For Me.

I Miss Your Tender Good-night Kiss

Of Love and Understanding.

The Good-night Kisses I Get Now,

Are Cruel and So Demanding.

So Mama When You Pray Tonight,

And While You're On Your Knees,

Mama Say a Special Prayer For Me.

The Nights Get Cold and Lonely When You're Faraway From Home,

And Lonely Makes It Easy For a Good Girl to Go Wrong.

Evil Eyes Search Through the Night For Lonely Girls Like Me,

So Mama When You Pray Tonight, Say a Special Prayer For Me.

I Miss Your Tender Good-night Kiss

Of Love and Understanding.

The Good-night Kisses I Get Now,

Are Cruel and So Demanding.

So Mama When You Pray Tonight,

And While You're On Your Knees,

Mama Say a Special Prayer For Me.
