I know you're leavin'
Leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin'
For the very last time
Show a little tenderness

Mama, before you go
Please let me feel
Your embrace once more
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'
Rock me, rock me a little while

We almost feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now
I'm feelin' mine

I tried my best to be strong
But I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child
Left in a cradle
Before you leave me mama
Leave me far behind
Please let me feel
Happy one more time

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'
Rock me, rock me a little while

I'm losin' you
And my happiness
My life is so dark
I must confess

I'll never, never see your smilin' face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me
Leave me behind
Please let me feel
Happy one more time

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'
Rock me, rock me a little while
