Lyrics Hey Mama Life - Ray Thomas
Hey,
hey,
mama,
life
is
a
lonely
time
For
a
man
who
drinks
his
whiskey
by
the
jar
Now,
I
do
believe
the
life
I
lead
won't
get
me
very
far
I
was
once
told
the
streets
were
paved
in
gold
Now
I
know
them
for
what
they
are
Hey,
hey,
mama,
life
has
a
sweeter
sound
For
a
man
who
lives
his
life
for
his
dream
Yet
he
must
be
aware
there
are
those
who
care
And
those
who
would
bring
him
down
Separate
trust
from
your
cut
and
thrust
The
truth
can
still
be
found
For
the
crossroads
of
your
life
will
lead
you
almost
anywhere
You'll
see
tomorrow
Your
castles
in
the
air,
they
were
never
really
there
Take
the
pride
from
a
man,
you're
left
without
a
meaning
Take
the
wings
from
a
bird,
how
can
it
fly?
Give
him
hope,
give
him
trust
and
a
little
understanding
Give
him
back
his
pride,
you'll
be
satisfied
Hey,
hey,
mama,
life
is
a
lonely
time
For
a
man
who
drinks
his
whiskey
by
the
jar
Now,
I
do
believe
the
life
I
lead,
it
won't
get
me
very
far
I
was
once
told
the
streets,
they
were
paved
in
gold
Now
I
know
them
for
what
they
are
