Emmylou Harris - Juanita lyrics

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind When she walked out on me for the very last time Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done to be treated this way In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed Then an angel appeared she was just 17 In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say She's brought back the life that I once threw away
