Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

 

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

 

I went walkin' the other day, yeah

Everything was goin' fine

And then I met a little boy named Billy-Joe

And then I almost lost my mind

 

Come on, mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Oh, mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

 

My eyes were wide open

All that I could see, yeah

The chapel bells were tollin' 

For everybody but me

But I don't worry 'cause

 

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

 

And then she said

Someone would look at me 

Like I'm lookin' at you

One day

Then I might find 

I don't want you any old way

 

So, don't worry, 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

(Mama said, mama said)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama said there'll be days like this

There'll be days like this, my mama said

Oh, yeah

Don't worry, yeah, don't worry, now, yeah, eah, eah, eah

Don't worry, worry, now, now, now

Don't you worry
