in her darkest hour
she kneeled down to pray
she said lord have mercy on me
i've done things that i do regret
i kneel before you and i repent
and like a caged bird with clipped wings
she knelt to the ground and let out a scream
she prayed for forgiveness and she prayed for faith
tears streaming down her bright red face

and she screamed
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me

now in her darkest hour
she kneeled down to pray
she said lord have mercy on me
i've done things that i do regret
i kneel before you and i repent
and like a caged bird with clipped wings
she knelt to the ground and let out a scream
she prayed for forgiveness and she prayed for faith
tears streaming down her bright red face

and she screamed
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me

25 to life for a crime that's way due time
he smacked her one too many and now he pays the price
got a cigarette hanging out the left side of her mouth
would she do it over again she says no way in hell

and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean

she was a good woman spoilt by a drinking man
couldn't take it no more and she said it had to end
but he didn't listen just like he always had
so she said a prayer to Jesus and committed her sin

and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean

didn't try to run she just sat down on the porch
and she stuck to her story didn't have no remorse
now she in her cell on a frozen january
won't see the light of freedom till she is done and buried

and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean
