Lyrics
Momma, Momma
Save your drowning child
Won't somebody please
Save a drowning child
Won't somebody please
Save a drowning child
I've been treated so bad by my lover
Nobody know my troubles and fears
Everybody I cry like a drowning child
And sleep in an ocean of tears
Oh, somebody hear my pleas
Oh, somebody save me
I've been thinking about going to the river
For the river won't drown my fears
Everynight I cry like a drowning child
And I sleep in a ocean of tears
Oh, oh, oh I never treated him wrong
Oh, oh, oh I never treated him wrong
I'm a young girl that's had some trouble
Nobody knows my troubles and fears
Everybody I cry like a drowning child
And sleep in an ocean of tears
Oh, somebody hear my pleas
Oh, somebody save me
Momma, Momma
Save your drowning child
