 ==========================================================

       She sings a lullaby,
       Kisses me goodnight for the last time
       Daddy used to be her main man
       But he's driven her insane and
       She's headed for the mainland

| PRE-CHORUS                                               |
 ==========================================================

First time:
       Mama cries her eyes out
       It wasn't always easy
       Turn the kitchen light out
       Daddy's upstairs sleeping

Second time:
       Mama cries her eyes out
       I can't believe she's leaving
       She can't change her mind now
       She can't recall her reasons

| CHORUS                                                   |
 ==========================================================

       And she's broken, battered
       Mama cry, Mama cry
       Her thoughts are scattered
       And Mama sighs,
       "It just don't matter"
(Second time):
       "No it just don't matter"
