Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

I went walking the other day

And everything was going fine

I met a little boy named Billy Joe

And then almost lost my mind

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

My eyes were wide open

But all that I can see is

Chapel bells are calling

For everyone but a me

But I don't worry 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

And then she said someone will look at me

Like I'm looking at you, one day

Then I might find I don't want it to go away

So I don't worry 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) don't you worry

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey) don't you worry now

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)

Mama said there'll be days like this

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)

There'll be days like this, mama said

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)

Mama said there'll be days like this

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)

There'll be-a days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey)

Mama said there'll be days like this
