Momma Gets By

Momma gets by, while papa gets high

She makes enough to raise a family, mm

She's working all day to bring in the pay

She's taking good care of me

Giving me every opportunity

And if it rains, she never complains

She's tough enough to make it through the storm, mm-hm

Papa gets back and heads for the sack

As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door

But she doesn't mind, she's seen it all before

She doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life

It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to bе his wife

And even though hе's complicated, she takes it in her stride

What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?

She loves him

She loves him with all her heart and soul

All her heart and soul

Because she loves him

She loves him with all her heart and soul

All her heart and soul

Well, she doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life

It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife

And even though he's complicated, she takes it in her stride

What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?

She loves him

She loves him with all her heart and soul, all her heart and soul

Because she loves him

And she loves him with all her heart and soul

With all her heart and soul

Momma gets by, while papa gets high
