D#   Gm7                 Cm7
Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
G#           G#/A# D#
What did he do it for
    Gm7                      Cm7
It never made it through our door
   G#              G#/A# Cm
He drank the whole week away

Chorus:
     Gm                G#
And what can a family say
       F               A#maj7
There must be a better way
    D#maj7              G#maj7
Now mama don't start to cry
      G#/A#             D#
Let's give him another try

Pick up the telephone
Tell him you want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And breath in the leaves of grass

Chorus:
I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now Mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now, Mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

When we're old and gray
And the things we say
Are the things we rarely mean
So why cause a scene

When things ain't what they seem
'Cause the end result's the same

Now what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now Mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
