Mama cried whe

              
n Frank Sinatr

   
a died
              
She wept for d

              
ays, when old 

              
blue eyes pass

    
ed away
              
was like a dea

             
th in the fami

              
ly, she only h

       
ad one LP
              
and she played

             
 it constantly

              
, and it drove

          
 us all insane
              
when Mama sang

             
 along to all 

              
them tin pan a

       
lley songs
              
and she'd get 

              
the words all 

  
wrong
              
and it didn't 

             
really matter,

              
 it made it so

      
rta sadder
              
it's such a sh


ame.


             
How Mama cried

              
 when Frank Si

        
natra died
              
As good a reas

            
on as any othe

r
              
It's as if the

             
y had been lov


ers
              
A long long ti

             
me ago, but as

           
 far as I know
              
She never caug

       
ht a show
             
But all the sa

              
me, her tears 

           
they were real
              
and her grief 

       
was sincere
              
and it came fr

           
om a deep plac

e
             
Beyond reason,

             
 beyond lyin' 

          
with our name


             
Yeah Mama crie

              
d like I never

  
 saw
              
"Mama cried be

             
fore," "That's

              
 not exactly t


rue ..
              
She cried a lo

             
t for you and 

              
Richard Burton

  
 too".
              
It was all she

        
 could do
              
To ease the pa

             
in, she smoked

              
 cigarettes in

  
 bed
              
Drank Kahlua a

             
s she read, ev

              
erything the p

       
apers said
              
she believed e

             
very word, now

              
 it seems sort

       
 of absurd
             
How Mama cried

              
 when Frank Si

        
natra died


             
And her tears 

            
they were real
              
and her grief 

       
was sincere
              
and it came fr

           
om a deep plac

Beyond reason,

             
 beyond lyin'

Yeah Mama crie
