Verse1

Mama, just killed a man, put a gun against his head,

 pulled my trigger, now he's dead.

Mama, life had just begun, but now I've gone and

 thrown it all away.

Mama, ooooh, didn't mean to make you cry.

 If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on

 as if nothing really matters....

Verse2

Too late,my time has come, sends shivers down my spine,

 body's aching all the time.

Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, gotta leave you all

 behind and face the truth.

Mama, ooooh I don't want to die,

 I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
