Hey mama, when you leave Don’t leave a thing behind I don’t want nothin’ I can’t use nothin’
Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I’m fine Not using nothin’ Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn’t see nothin’ I didn’t hear nothin’ I stood there like a block of stone Knowin’ all I had to know And nothin’ more Man, that’s nothin’ Being born is going blind And bowin’ down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin’ And, mama, when you leave Don’t leave a thing behind I don’t want nothin’ I can’t, I can’t use nothin’ I can’t use nothin’
