Well, I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother, he? s in prison
And I doubt he? ll be gettin? out again

But I watch it from the cradle
Though mama tried to hide the truth from me
She did all that she was able
And Lord, I guess the rest is history

But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
? Cause I was the baby of the family

Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last

Mama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin? hand
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I am

When they? d pass the plate on Sunday
I know it? d break her heart if she knew now
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net]
While she was puttin? in her quarters
I was reaching in and taking dollars out

But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
? Cause I was the baby of the family

Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last

But we all know nobody? s perfect
And mama prayed I? d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
? Cause I was the baby of the family

Oh well, I know she? d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that? s a fact
And I know I? m not the first but I guess
I was Mama? s last

No, I? m not the first mistake that she ever made
But I was mama? s last
