[G] You know that the nooses still exist now, never changed them through [C] the years.
But I'm the [G] one that put the brace [D] in Mama's [G] black hair.
I was wild and I was reckless, I guess I did [C] not see.
Every night when [G] I came home late, she'd be waiting [D] up for me.
I [G] never heard her whisper, thank you Lord.
Her sorrow I'd put [C] here away.
But I'm the [G] one that put the brace [D] in Mama's [G] black hair.
[C] Oh I wish that I could change things [G] now, but something you can't change.
I [C] can only [Em] say [G] Mama, I'll love you till my [D] dying day.
She's [G] waiting up for me right now, by the window [C] in her chair.
Yes I'm the [G] one that put the [D] brace in [G] Mama's black hair.
On the day I went to prison, she fell down [C] on her knees.
And cried, oh [G] please don't take him sir, in his place, [D] please take me.
I'll never [G] dare that I'll kill him, make sure she [C] gets my share.
Cause I'm the [G] one that put the [D] brace in Mama's [G] black hair.
[C] Oh I wish that I could change things [G] now, but something you can't change.
