Oh, I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so She gave me every chance she could to make my life a go But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on
But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
I went to the places where sin just waits for you And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day When theyÂŽll lead me through that door and burn my life away
Oh, Mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
Oh, Mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
