[Intro]          [Verse 1] Oh I was born a good boy my mama loved me so And she gave me every chance she could to make my life a gold But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong I went to the places where sin just waits for you And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day When they’ll lead me through that door and burn my life away [Chorus] Oh mama please forgive me the shame is all my own For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong [Interlude]           [Chorus] Oh mama please forgive me the shame is all my own For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
