Mama, You Been on My Mind (Live at Harvard Square Theatre, Cambridge, MA, November 1975) Lyrics

I'd like t' dedicate this song to a lady named mama, who's sitting in front row
I look to ya mama

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you just on my mind

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down don't get upset
I am not pleadin', or sayin' "I can't forget you"
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet
Mama, you just on my mind

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter where you're waking up tomorrow
Mama, you just on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look into your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you just on my mind
Mama, you just on my mind
