Mama Don't Cry for Me
And I've felt my heart start pounding at the side of New Orleans
I've seen the New York City with her lights aglow
I've been a lot of places always on the go
I've seen most everything I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
I've held a newborn baby mama in my arms so tight
And I've felt the warm love mama of a woman in the night
I've seen the desert flowers mama where they grow
I've climbed the highest mountains covered with snow
I've seen most everything I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
I'm sending you this message mama I must say goodbye
I live the life you gave me mama I'm not afaid to die
Even though I'm dying mama the hands of death are strong
I don't want you crying mama after I'm gone
I've seen all of this old world I cared to see so mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
So mama when I'm gone don't cry for me
