Mama Say a Prayer

         D                         
    The bright lights of this city 
       A
are a pretty sight to see,
                            A7     
    perhaps they`re extra pretty to
    D       G        D
 a country girl like me.
    Temptation waits at every turn, 
   D7                G
and it won`t let me be.
                         D         
    So, Mama, when you pray 
          A      A7        D
tonight, say a special prayer for 
me.

   A                               
I miss your tender goodnight kiss 
  G              D
of love and understanding,

the good night kisses I get now are
   A            A7
 cruel and so demanding.
     D
So, Mama, when you pray tonight,
      D7                   G
and while you`re on your knees,
              D       A        D
Mama, say a special prayer for me.

         D                         
    The nights get cold and lonely,
              A
 when you`re far away from home,
                         A7        
    and lonely makes it easy for a 
 D        G      D
good girl to go wrong.
    Evil eyes search through the 
            D7               G
night for lonely girls like me.
                         D         
    So, Mama, when you pray tonight
         A      A7        D
 say a special prayer for me.
