I Want To Take You Home (To See Mama)

I wanna take you home to see mama

So she can see my shining star

I wanna take you home to see mama

So she can know who you are

This time you're back from folks at home

I don't know why it took so long

I talked with them on the telephone

They wanna know why my mind is gone

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)

'Cause then I know she'll understand

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)

I wanna do it as fast as I can, whoo, ooh, whoo

Mama don't lie (mama don't lie)

She's as sweet as apple pie (sweet as apple pie)

I wanna see the gleam in her eyes (gleam in her eyes)

Wanna say I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)

'Cause then I know she'll understand

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)

I wanna do it as fast as I can

(I wanna take you home to see mama)

Mama, yeah mama

(I wanna take you home to see mama)

I bring your daughter-in-law home
