VERSE 1
[Dm] Mamas put [F] your [Bb] babies to sleep,
[C] story too [Bb] [C] cruelsome for them this is.
[Dm] In Junior [F] High she [Bb] said goodbye,
[C] to [Bb] her [C] parents and ran away with a boy.
She [Gm] left her [F] family [C] warm and [Dm] kind,
[Gm] all of her [F] friends said "You´re [C] out of your [Dm] mind".
[C] Life [Dm] of her own she would find,
it´s [Gm] Monday and she´s gotta [Bb] grind. [A]
VERSE 2
[Dm] A job as a [F] waitress she [Bb] sure was to find,
[C] [Bb] beautiful [C] face, mind of a child.
[Dm] Boy got [F] her [Bb] pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,
[C] "For [Bb] this I am too [C] young oh why did you lie?"
You [Gm] said "It´s [F] okay if we [C] do it [Dm] today",
[Gm] I was so [F] scared that you [C] would go [Dm] away.
[C] "Despite [Dm] all the papers been signed,
[Gm] mama take me back be so [F] kind". [A]
CHORUS
[Dm] Only a [C] child, reckless and [F] wild,
needs to come [Bb] home [C] again. [Dm]
He promised the [C] moon but won´t [Bb] marry [F] [C] [Dm] you.
Nothing to [C] do, eating for [F] two,
he´s goin´ [Bb] out with [C] someone [Dm] new.
Sunshine or [C] rain, it´s all the [Gm] same,
life isn´t [F] gray oh [C] [Dm] Mary-Lou.
VERSE 3
[Dm] Mamas do [F] your children [Bb] still sleep,
[C] in the [Bb] safe of [C] their cradles so sweet.
[Dm] Story I [F] told you [Bb] I have foreseen,
[C] your [Bb] little [C] angel ain´t always so clean.
[Gm] Days to [F] come aren´t [C] easy to [Dm] see,
[Gm] you [F] can change ´em [C] but it [Dm] isn´t free.
[C] I see [Dm] that you don´t believe,
[Gm] ooo-oo, but [F] you [C] will [Dm] see.
