My MAMA`s GONE
Mama said pack up your toys, it\'s time to go to bed
I’m tired it has been another long day for both of us
She held me in her arms and walked us up the stairs
Put me gently in bed, I cuddled my teddy called Gus.
She read me a bedtime story snuggled up by my side
It\'s always helped me sleep a little bit better at night
When she had finished, she kissed me on the forehead
She wished me sweet dreams and turned out the light.
I heard my Mama walking back down the creaky stairs
And I hoped my Mama would also have a quiet night
About me or my Mama I knew my father did not care
Then the peace was shattered, sound of another fight.
In the morning, I walked back down the creaky stairs
My father was sitting at the kitchen table on his own
He looked angry, I asked why my Mama was not there
He said Mama had decided to leave the family home.
I said to my father, you were fighting again last night
He said shut up you little Bastard get out of my sight
I said maybe if you did not batter her black and blue
She might want to still be living here with me and you.
