Mama You've Been On My Mind (Album Version) - Johnny Cash
Written by：Johnny Cash
Well when you wake up in the morning baby
Look inside your mirror I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who's had you on his mind
Mama you've been on my mind
Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night
That's covering the crossroads that I'm at
And maybe it's the weather somethin' like that
But mama you've been on my mind
Well I don't need trouble please don't put me down
I am not pleading or sayin' I cannot forget
I do not pace a floor 'bout down and bent but yet
Mama you've been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
It don't matter to me where you're waking up tomorrow
But mama you've been on my mind
Well when you wake up in the morning baby
Look inside your mirror I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who's had you on his mind
Mama you've been on my mind
