Buckley, Jeff - Mama, You've Been On My Mind Lyrics
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
oh but mama you've been on my mind
I am not pleading or saying that I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent but yet
Oh mama you've been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
But mama you've been on my mind
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Oh mama you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind

I still miss him. Fuck. Just so sad. You're still on my mind, Jeff. I wish I would've met you.
Him and Vincent Gallo, same energy ❤️
It’s crazy that after all this time this is the first time I’ve heard this song thanks YouTube recommendations

Momma is his mother or his girl?
To fall in love with such a beautiful voice...So sincere a touch of love from the heart...let all mothers feel the same for their kids....
Freud favorite song
What a modern maestro.
I don't even mean to cry. But when i hear him it just comes. 💚💚
One of the most beautiful things in our little world.
Read Dr Brian Weiss books Many Lives Many Masters, and Miracles Happen. Life goes round again .
Why does he look like james franco and pewdiepie
A part of purity.
His death was strange. He waded into a river that took him away. His birth was stranger, his mother was convinced she was pregnant for months when she wasn't. Her mad desire to create Jeff.Then Tim Buckley fled, married a clannish Welsh widower who had a son, who never played a note, but Tim adopted him because Jeff's mother was too controlling. Shame, if Jeff had known his father better, he'd still be alive and matured wonderfully.
haha what? Knew his father better he would of matured more? Wasn't his dad a drug addict who died of a drug overdose? I'm pretty sure the family he grew up with was a lot more stable, and I'm pretty sure he also had a good relationship with his step-dad
Hi peoples d ont forgets mom's are keys of paradise ❤❤❤
I miss my mum
Who's jamming with Jeff, 2019?
Always..!!
Merry Christmas
@So Schism TY I hope you had a blessed holiday
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Such a loss. Every time I listen to him singing it touches my soul.
Rod Stewart did an amazing version of this song a long time and it's amazing as well.
I miss you mom ❤
Watch over me 😥
Muito bom! <3
🦅♡🔥 ⚘Mamma 🔥♡🦅
Such a lovely voice
gahdamn
Damn... I’m glad this came my way.
Jeff Buckley ressemble trait pour trait à mon dentiste.....un plaisir à chaque rdv 🔥😂
i want to play this song with paino and ill sing it one day.
miss you , w .
Im in love with a ghost
Zoe
I put this one first in the list but it's the one I found just before I sent the songs, it kicked the idea in my head to send you these songs. I thought about sending you this alone with adjusted to lyrics closer to how I feel, changing some of the "mama's to sister, sisters, lover and brother", some of them fit with them, you and Kyle. This is a beautiful one I know I could have heard loads and passed off but this time it just caught me in the perfect to let it into my heart so I hope maybe it'll hit your more open heart and doesn't miss like it could have mine many times.
So glad this was on my recommendations 💙❤️
Gone _way_ too early.
Hey look its pewds
He's like nowadays Bob Dylan ❤

His voice is so unique
And the way he sings as well...
I mean
I can sense the vibe of the talent surrounding him.💎👀
I've always said it is what it is and nothing has effected my soul as much as the thought that one day I'll have to say good bye to my mama.. 💔
Cherish her and create new memories and special moments with her while you can😊❤ I lost my mother October 28th of this year. She was the best and I miss her so much and just so happy I had a great relationship that a mother and daughter could have.
Ariel T so sorry for your loss. Sending you all my love ❤️
Fuck shit sucks some times. Love you all, keep your heads up and smile into that gorgeous sun.
Please call baby. Jeff says it's safe now
This was made for you Love! God bless you SARANNE HALE!! My Best friend...
Jeff was a master of his time. Far surpasses even the greatest of what we consider a musician. There’s a river in TN that owns a great soul.
Why?
Thank u
Bonne ma
Beautiful voice. I can't forget the way he dead.
Same. I think that he suicided. That's my belief anyway. Take care and keep listening 😁👍
Je suis ruinée
what the fuck I never knew james franco could sing
Just listening to it for the first time. Rod Stewart does a beautiful version of it too.
❤❤❤❤
my mums dying of cancer our relationship has been freyed for years, but this song breaks my heart and brings a lump to my throat
🦋ヽ♡`♪ `、 💕 `、•♪`、`、•♪ Love U
Such an innovative and beautiful folk electric guitar style. It has that classic folk sound, as if the parts for the song were written a hundred years ago, yet it’s so beautifully translated and expressed on the electric guitar. The echoes of his voice sound like an exclamation from a southern green hill top, as if he’s literally watching his love depart town on a train under a deep blue sky littered with clumps of thick cumulus clouds and the convection of train exhaust. Quite an unrivaled talent compared to today’s standards; a talent that subtly paints a picture of emotional catharsis. Exquisite yet powerful, as if it were the last page of a child’s story book. Such a story ought to never be forgotten, for its very message peaks the utmost cruciality of life lessons and significance.
I miss you♡Jeff l love you ♡jeff
I clicked because he low-key looked like a friend of mine (in the thumbnail) but stayed because of the music
This song breaks my heart.
I spent over an hour of my time learning the first 36 seconds of this song before he starts singing. And I’d do it over and over again, feels just as good playing it as it does listening to it. ❤️
such a shame what happened to him. His potential was far higher than his father.
Mama where'd you go? Wish you could tell.me. 😔
Wow, what a beautiful song and a beuatiful human being

Ok, mama, I have this song on my mind.

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset,
I am not pleading or saying that "I can't forget you."
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow,
But mama, you're just on my mind.
I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no, "
Please understand me, I have no place I'm callin' you to go.
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know,
Mama, you've been on my mind.
When you wake up in the mornin' and look inside your mirror,
You know I won't be next to you, no, I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.
For you CRH
I'm confused by this song. It seems to be a love song despite the title. Was "mama" a historical term for a lover, like daddy in some songs?
Jeff was Goon Too Soon. Such a beautiful awesome voice he had. R.I.P. Jeff🙏🏽🕊 ♥️🌹♥️
I love the diminished chord he added at 1:45
Even Bob Dylan says this is the best version... Just the most beautiful rendition, and song. Two all time greats combining for something perfect.
I think the same thing about NIN and Jonny Cash Hurt. Sharing is caring 😍
A combination of Dylans Poetry and Jeff buckleys angel Voice...why would anybody dislike this???
I love you.
Nick wouldve loved this song♡
The best cover of this Dylan song was recorded way back in 1972 on an album called Never A Dull Moment by the legend Rod Stewart
Mum: go get a job and be rich
Me: go fuck yourself you satanist inbred
How many nights he stay in the night with his mom? And how many times he stay outside of his home street just chilling in a sunny day?
I dont know, i magine him like a child, and then like boy in pijama blue, imagine him so inocent in his bed having a randomly thoughts so in tenderless, like a normal person, and imagine him like a child in garden playing with his friend, imagine him so young in the morning with his mom in a kitchen little, and then two have drink a tea,
Gorgeous voice, loads of power and emotion and technique and dynamics, and full of beauty and poetry,,,
The poetry part came from Bob Dylan.
i 💖Youヽ🦋♡`♪ to eternity
Aside from how wonderful Jeff performs this, it truly is remarkable how Bob Dylan has a seemingly bottomless well of masterpieces...
