Lyrics

I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. I took my momma’s money. I did a very, very bad thing. I took her money to feed my bad habit. Momma had me locked up; now I just can’t get at it.

I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. Momma had me locked up in jail; now I got to sing. Momma gonna get my daddy whippin’ on me. I hope this jail won’t ever set me free. Daddy gonna beat me about my upper head. Daddy gonna beat me til I wind up dead.

I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. That’s why I’m sitting behind the glass, telling you the whole damn thing.
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry til I get out. Then I’m gonna cry more when daddy catches me out.

I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. I took my momma’s money. I did a very, very bad thing. I ain’t coming out from behind this glass. If I do my daddy’s gonna whip my I-I-I-I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing.

I took my momma’s money, money, money, money, money, money, money. I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. Now I’m locked up in jail; momma gonna make me sing. I took my momma’s money, momma’s money. I took my momma’s money, momma’s money. I took my momma’s money. I did a very bad thing. Got me locked up with a ball and chain. Never gonna see the light of day. No hell no way. Cause of the bad things I did. Took my momma’s money away.
