I may be a forgotten son, a wanderer of twenty one
It's hard to find myself at home without you
If I could only hold your hand and say I'm sorry as I am
I'm sure you'd really understand
Oh mommy, where are you now?
Oh mommy, oh mommy, mommy blue, oh mommy blue
I went away one summer night
Without saying a word, without kissing you
Without looking at the past, the past
From which I crossed the border
The winds blew more fiercely
When I was near you, my mother
Oh mommy, oh mommy, oh mommy, mommy blue
Mommy blue, oh mommy, oh mommy, mommy blue, mommy blue
Oh
If I could only hold your hand and say I'm sorry as I am
I'm sure you'd really understand
Oh mommy, where are you now?
Oh mommy, oh mommy, mommy blue, oh mommy blue
Oh mommy, oh mommy, mommy blue, oh mommy blue
Oh mommy, oh mommy, oh mommy blue, oh mommy blue
