Shel Silverstein - Mama I`ll Sing One For You
Work rating: Low

I`ve sung my songs on dusty roads and dirty city sidewalks
To sweatin` hard eyed brakemen, in the rail yards I rolled through
I`ve sung in blue wall papered rooms to girls I played at lovin`
Now Mama…I`ll sing one song for you 
Mama let me tell you that I`ve never lost the mem`ry 
Of the tender things you told me, and the gentle things you`d do
And though I`ve grown away and other arms reach out to hold me
Mama…I`ll sing one song for you 
You say you`d like to have me here to help you through the winter
But you say it with a wistful smile like you already knew
That your boy`s no good at stayin` still there`s no words that need sayin`
And Mama… I`ll sing one song for you 
Tomorrow I`ll be movin` out on them dusty country backroads
Some sweatin` hard eyed brakeman may hear a tune or two
And the girl in the blue wall papered room she`ll ask where i been hidin` 
And I`ll tell `em I stopped and sang one song for you
