lyrics

Momma, by the people you love, yes you love
Which, need I mention, goes without exception
They’ll take all your honor just to prove you’ve earned none
Come back to the city where I’ll keep your love

Momma how many times have I wet your breasts?
But my tears and my fevers can’t flaw your kindness
Your pension as threatened, well, the scheming ain’t lessened
Come back to the city, where you’ll take your rest

I ain’t known someone who would leave such affection unwed
Until you acquaintance was met
Well, such flippancy took poor Claude Anet to the grave
Do you want me to go the same way?

Momma, your Jean-Samuel, he’s no real man
You trade me and my memory for such wormwood as him
He’ll take all your money just to prove that he can
And when you’ve no honor left, will he keep your hand?

I’ve no smile except for when yours is around
But you’ve hardly noticed I’ve come
Am I really equal to this braggart and clown
With not even taste on his tongue?

Momma, you’d feed them all if you had enough
But fate doesn’t smile on the pure hearts like us
You’ll be shamed and beviled, so I give it all up
Momma, by the people you love, yes, you love
Momma, by the people you love, you love
