Mamma,mamma!
john clare
Who first when you were lifted from her womb
did you call upon but
Mamma,mamma!
Who first when you were scared of the
dark in your room
did you call upon but
Mamma,mamma!
Who first when you tripped and broke your tooth
did you call upon but
Mamma,mamma!
Who first when dad was about to spank and
wanted the truth
did you call upon but
Mamma,mamma!
Who at the first day of grade school
did you call out for but
Mamma,mamma!
Who cheered the loudest at your games and
was always there
Who did you seek out first but
Mamma,mamma!
Who when you walked the aisle for your diploma
did you want first to show but
Mamma,mamma!
Who when you found the girl just like mamma
did you hurry home to tell but
Mamma,mamma!
And who when that first son was born did you
want first to hold but
Mamma,mamma!
And why is it that now after all those calls to
Mamma
Did today you not first call
Mamma,mamma?
