You left me and you went away You said that you'd be back and just that day You've broken your promise and you left me here alone I don't know why you

There?s lots of mean women on almost any street Lord There?s lots of mean women on almost any street But I?ve got the meanest Mama that ever walked on
When the postman delivered a letter It filled her dear heart full of joy But she didn't know 'til she read the inside It was the last one from her darling
Deep within my heart lies a melody a song of old San Antone Where in dreams I lived with a memory beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside
