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
And 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
I said
my mama couldn't be persuaded
when
they pleaded with her,
"Daughter,
don't marry that gamblin' man."
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
They
all went to pieces when the bad luck hit
Stuck
in the middle, I was the kid
And 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,
My Mama
couldn't be persuaded
When
my Granny pleaded with her
Not
to marry that gamblin' man.
I said
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 their daughter
don't
marry that gamblin' man
