[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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 they'll lead me through that door and burn my life away
[Chorus]
Oh, Mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
[Chorus]
Oh, Mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
