Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat I'm coverin'

D7

The crossroads I'm standing at

C C/B Am Am/G F

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

C G C (sometimes G, sometimes riff)

But mama you been on my mind

I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get

upset I am not pleading

Or saying I can't forget you

I do not pace the floor bow down and beg but yet

Mama you been on my mind

Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow

where you been don't bother me

Or bring me down with sorrow

I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow

Mama you're just on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no please understand me

I have no place I'm calling you to go

I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know

Mama you are on my mind

When you wake up in the morning baby look inside 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
