letra de mama couldn't be persuaded (live wmms 10/13/76) - warren zevon
[verse 1]
gambler ambled down a country lane
lookin’ for a game of chance
she was twenty-one or two
and she knew what she wanted
and she wanted that gamblin’ man
her parents warned her
tried to reason with her
she was determined that she wanted bill
they’d all be offended at the mention still
if they heard this song, which i doubt they will
[chorus]
and my mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleadеd with their daughter, “don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
mama couldn’t be pеrsuaded
when they pleaded with their daughter, “don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with her, no, no nevertheless
said my mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with her, “daughter, don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
[verse 2]
gambler tried to be a family man
though it didn’t suit his style
he thought he had him a winning combination
so he took us where the stakes were high
her parents warned her
tried to reason with her
never kept their disappointment hid
it all went to pieces when the bad luck hit
stuck in the middle, i was the kid
[chorus]
my mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with their daughter, “don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with their daughter, “don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with her, no, no, nevertheless
they told me mama couldn’t be persuaded
when they pleaded with their daughter, “don’t marry that gamblin’ man”
[outro]
wattie, where are you?
that’s where the guitar solo goes
