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
