Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat

And covering the crossroads I'm standing at,

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,

But mama, you're just on my mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset,
Am F
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you."
C G Am F
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet,
C G C
Mama, you're just on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
Am F
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow.
C G Am F
It don't even matter where you're wakin' up tomorrow,
