Mama you ve been on my mind lyrics

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you are just on my mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin', I can't forget
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet
Mama, you are just on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow
But mama, you're just on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you are just on my mind
Mama, you are just on my mind

"Mama, You've Been On My Mind"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
oh but mama you've been on my mind

I don't mean trouble please don't put me down don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying that I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent but yet
Oh mama you've been on my mind

Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
But mama you've been on my mind

I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me I have no place I'm callin' you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Oh mama you've been on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

I am not askin' you to say words like 'yes' or 'no,'
Please understand me, I got no place for you t' go.
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know,
Mama, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
