She came up from the country with a Add9smile for everyone
She left her blue horizon just to Add9find another home
A lonely girl whod traveled many Add9days
A Baad9lonely heart that could not Add9 find the way
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Momma, its so hard to carry on
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
Momma, its a Add9sad and lonely life
A misty morning rider, she came Add9wandering through the hills
A wandering soul appearing over Add9rainy window sills
A loser in her heart but in her Add9face
A smile for everyone under GAdd9ods grace
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Momma, its so hard to carry on
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
Momma, its a Add9sad and lonely life
Fiddle solo
Orchestra solo
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Momma, its so hard to carry on
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
Midnight maiden madness, what to Add9search for in this place?
Gateway to the city, night sky Add9shadows on her face
A Baad9lady lost in nowhere but her Add9 stare
Leaves the world, her life to start Add9somewhere
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Momma, its so hard to carry on
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
Momma, its a Add9sad and lonely life
Momma, its a Add9hard life now youre gone
Momma, its so Add9hard to carry on
And I feel Im a Add9fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
