Verse 1
My Mama’s not seen me , Since I was a little boy
The last thing I remember about her , Was when she gave me a little toy
*
The people in the care home , Took me out of state
My Mama didn't realise it , Until it became too late
*
Chorus 1
She cried a million tears for me , But they never let her know
She cried a million tears for me , Because she had to let me go

Verse 2
Waiting at the railway station , I saw this old lady standing there
Tears running down her cheeks , She said I’m sorry they took you into care
*
She held me so closely in her arms , And she gave a great big sigh
I never thought this time would come , That I would hold you before I die

Chorus 2
She cried a million tears for me , But they never let her know
She cried a million tears for me , Because she had to let me go

verse3
My Mama’s not seen me , Since I was a little boy
She held me even closer , And we jumped up and down for joy
*
How did you find me Mama , I thought this day would never come
I’ve dream’t about this moment with you , Both of us having fun

Chorus 3
She cried a million tears for me , But they never let her know
She cried a million tears for me , Because she had to let me go

verse4
I saw your face in the newspaper , And I just knew you were my son
Call It mothers instinct If you want , Our life has just begun
*
Thank you for coming for me , And never giving up
You’ll always be my little boy , Your my little pup

end
She cried a million tears for me , But they never let her know
She cried a million tears for me , Because she had to let me go
And then she came and found me , And brought me back home
And then she came and found me , So I would never be alone

verse 1
The hearse was driving slowly , As it left his home
He had no friends to talk too , He was all alone
*
Nobody turned up at his funeral , He was buried in a pauper's grave
This man had served his country , In Korea and in Vietnam

chorus1
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

verse2
He had medals from the president , They found them in his van
His purple heart was priceless , He wore it with so much pride

An old buddy saw it in the paper , And had him buried in his own grave
The white house got wind of it , And put a headstone on his grave

chorus2
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

verse3
The words on the headstone said , This man is a national hero
He was so patriotic , And he really was so brave
*
The governor made it his business , To support the vets
His family came forward , With so much sadness and regrets

chorus3
His purple heart was priceless
He wore it with so much pride
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died
Nobody came to his funeral
When he went and died

end
This man was a national hero , Which society had forgot

Verse1
I saw you in your wheelchair , You looked like you were in a trance
The last time that I saw you , We were having a dance
I remember that night so clearly , It was the night I went away
You begged with me and pleaded , You pleaded with me to stay

Chorus1
But life got in the way once
And I left you all alone
I never answered your messages
I didn't even phone

Verse2
As I knelt down before you , I must have caught your eye
As you came out of your coma , You began to cry
As our eyes began to meet , You just came alive
Now I know the reason , Why that you’ve survived

Chorus2
You thought I was never coming back
But that was never the case
I been longing for that moment
When I see your beautiful face

verse3
As I pushed you around the park , You kissed me on my cheek
It was at that very moment , That you felt movement in your feet
Your legs began to wobble , As you stood up on your own
As you put your arms around me , you knew you was never going to be alone

chorus3
Life got in the way once , When I left you all alone
I never answered your messages , I didn't even phone
As our eyes began to meet , You just came alive
Now I know the reason , Why that you’ve survived

Verse4
As I pushed you around the park ,You kissed me on my cheek
It was at that very moment , That you felt movement in your feet
Your legs began to wobble , As you stood up on your own

end
As you put your arms around me
You knew you was never going to be left alone

verse1
I met a guy down in Reno , Who loved to play the wheels
He really was a talker , And told everybody how he feels
*
The thrill of winning dollars , Was deep inside his head
He played them like a lunatic , And this is what he said

Those wheels keep on turning , They drive me so insane
I’ve never met a woman yet , Who doesn't give me any pain

verse 2
He said my name was lucky , And I’m his lucky charm
As long as you are with me , You will never come to any harm

The casinos are so crooked , They can't stand up very straight
They will take you to the cleaners , They never hesitate

Those wheels keep on turning , They drive me so insane
I’ve never met a woman yet , Who doesn't give me any pain

verse3
The mob was looking for him , Because he won their cash
They saw him at the bar , With the local trailer trash
*
They took in the alleyway , And put a bullet in his head
He never said a word , A word was never said

end
Those wheels keep on turning , They drove him so insane
He never met a woman yet , Who did not give him any pain
*
Those wheels will keep on turning , Long after I am dead
One day there going to kill me , With a bullet in the head
With a bullet in my head.

She walked like Ginger Rogers , And danced like Fred Astaire
She really was a looker , And she really knew how to swear

And she had such a gorgeous face

What ever happened to our children , They’ve taken over all the streets
I saw one just the other day , As he took his knife out from his sheaf

verse1
They called her black maria , Her real name was Maria Lee
The people of Boston loved her , She kept their city crime free

Black maria is a legend , On the boston scene
She had these prison cages , To keep Boston's streets so clean

The prisoner didn't like her much , Because she gave them so much grief

A prison boat was sailing , Down into Boston docks
People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks

Prisoners started screaming , As the boat started to capsize
Nobody ever cared , If they lived or if they died

People on the banksides were laughing , Thinking that it was a joke
Some prisoners were drowning , Some began to choke

The prisoners jumping off , Shedding all their tears

People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks

Now she was so helpless , Knowing that she was going to fail

Prisoners chained up to the boat , Never stood a chance
The captain of the boat died , He came from Paris france

Black Maria loved Boston , She was their heart and soul
She protected all the people , She was their heart and soul

end
A prison boat was sinking , Down in Boston docks
People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks
Black Maria tried to save them , She managed to save a few
She was the first lady of Boston , When it was still brand new
She was the first lady of Boston , When it was still brand new
