Sweet Mama (Lay Your Burdens Down) Lyrics


Sweet Mama (Lay Your Burdens Down) Song Chart
  • This was written by Billy Joe Shaver , a friend of Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts. Besides old blues songs, it's the only song the band recorded they did not write themselves.
  • This was a difficult time for the Allman Brothers. After the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, it was tough to keep the band together, especially after Gregg Allman married Cher. They put this album together when they were doing a series of fundraiser concerts for Jimmy Carter, who went on to win the election and become president of the United States. Like the band, Carter is from Georgia.

    Win, Lose Or Draw Lyrics


    Endlessly facing the cold concrete floor
    Four cold grey walls, and no doors
    I barely remember the last forty days
    Or just what they're holdin' me for
    So far away, they tell me:
    "boy, you're here to stay; win, lose or draw"
    Letters unanswered and visits so few
    Cold desperation I know
    I guess I'd give most anything
    Oh lord, if they'd just let me go
    I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw

    Ma, she's dead and gone
    Pa just don't seem to find the time
    It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me
    When he's all I had left I call mine
    I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw.

    There's two men in one room for ten long years
    Still strangers that talk away the time
    'cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine
    I lay here and die one more time
    And I'm so far away
    Day after lonely, lonely day
    Win, lose or draw

  • Title track to the album that was very difficult to record due to the band's drug problems and Gregg Allman's marriage to Cher. The entire band was rarely together during recordings.
  • Gregg Allman wrote this, but recorded his vocals in California, away from the rest of the band. He was married to Cher at the time and spent a lot of time there to accommodate her schedule.
