Mama Cried Lyrics & Chords By Truckstop Honeymoon

LyricsView Chords

Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed away
was like a death in the family, she only had one LP
and she played it constantly, and it drove us all insane
when Mama sang along to all them tin pan alley songs
and she'd get the words all wrong
and it didn't really matter, it made it sorta sadder
it's such a shame.
How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
As good a reason as any other
It's as if they had been lovers
A long long time ago, but as far as I know
She never caught a show
But all the same, her tears they were real
And her grief was sincere
And it came from a deep place
Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name
Yeah Mama cried like I never saw
"Mama cried before," "That's not exactly true .
She cried a lot for you and Richard Burton too".
It was all she could do
To ease the pain, she smoked cigarettes in bed
Drank Kahlua as she read, everything the papers said
She believed every word, now it seems sort of absurd
How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
And her tears they were real
And her grief was sincere
And it came from a deep place
Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name
Yeah Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
