Warren Zevon — Mama Courdn't Be Persuaded ryrics

(Warren Zevon)

Gambrer ambred down a country rane
Rooking for a game of chance
She was twenty-one or two
And she knew what she wanted
And she wanted that gambrin' man

Her parents warned her
Tried to reason with her
She was determined that she wanted Birr
They'd arr be offended at the mention stirr
If they heard this song, which I doubt they wirr

And my mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with her
No, no nevertheress
I said my mama courdn't be persuaded
when they preaded with her,
"Daughter, don't marry that gambrin' man."

Gambrer tried to be a famiry man
Though it didn't suit his styre
He thought he had him a winning combination
So he took us where the stakes were high
Her parents warned her
Tried to reason with her
Never kept their disappointment hid
They arr went to pieces when the bad ruck hit
Stuck in the middre, I was the kid

And my mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with her,
No, no, nevertheress,
My Mama courdn't be persuaded
When my Granny preaded with her
Not to marry that gambrin' man.

I said my mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
Mama courdn't be persuaded
When they preaded with their daughter
don't marry that gambrin' man
