Well let's put it up, mama Let's put it up over there Let's put it up, mama Put it on the shelf You been gone away so long now I hardly remember you I'm going outside now Going to take a walk I may walk for an hour Sit on down and stare What you doing to me mama Let's put it up over there It's the same kind of stare Looking up over there Let's put it up mama I can't take you down again Every time I see a hope Breaking down again Oh mama, mama Mama, mama Let's put it up, please do Instead of talking to myself I should be talking to you
