She Cries And It's My Fault

I'll never forget that look
On that sad, sad day
That I arrived home
With some company
A stern look with a frown
And a tear behind those eyes
And it was all my fault
For my mother's cries.
That's the first that I remember
That I let her down.
The first time of many
of hearing that sound
And, oh, that sound
That sound it may
Still shatter my heart
Many time 'tis today
And if I had a thousand
I'd bet it times two
This morning, this night
She still cries though
And just like now
'Tis just like now
'Tis just like then
It's till my fault
Her heart still cries within.

I'm sorry, Mama
