Mama, Say a Prayer Songtext
von Dolly Parton

The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see
Perhaps they′re extra pretty to a country girl like me
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin′
The good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'
So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
Mama, say a special prayer for me


The nights get cold and lonely
When you′re far away from home
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me

So, mama, when you pray tonight say a special prayer for me
I miss your tender good night kiss of love and understandin′
These good night kisses I get now are cruel and so demandin'
So, mama, when you pray tonight and while you′re on your knees
Mama, say a special prayer for me
