I've seen plenty of trouble
  Never been any different, I know
  You got to run on the double
  Keep your eye on the chariot low
  Mama let your garden grow
  Mama let your garden grow
  
  I've seen plenty of trouble
  Never been any different, I know
  You got to run on the double
  Keep your eye on the chariot low
  Mama let your garden grow
  
  Can't fall down, never give in
  A lucky star could be following you
  You got to show a little givin'
  Every day when it's possible to
  Mama make my grey sky blue
  
  Just keep those wheels turnin'
  And keep your love burnin'
  If I'm runnin' wild, follow me
  Maybe we're still learnin'
  Sometimes we're still hurtin'
  Just like a child comfort me
  
  I said! - Yeah! - Yeah!
  
  (Guitar Solo)
  
  Shake now! Yeah! Yeah! - Ooh, yeah! Ooh, yeah!
  
  We grew up by the mountain
  Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
  We got the eye for accountin'
  We got the pain of a family man
  Mama help us all you can
  
  Just keep those wheels turnin'
  And keep your love burnin'
  If I'm runnin' wild, follow me
  Maybe we're still learnin'
  Sometimes we're still hurtin'
  Just like a child comfort me
  
  Ooh, Mama!
