James Brown - Mama's Dead Lyrics

For those who still have a living mother; embrace and love her. Because one day departure will arrive.

I wake up and go to bed thinking about my Mama. She is ahalf of my heart. She been gone two years, I'm here in Winston Salem, NC.

I lost my mom October 18th 2018, lost my Grandmother the next morning. this song hits home hard.

What I'd do to have my mama back and to hold her hand.

May Allah ( God) be pleased with all our mothers & remember they all live on through us !!!

THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY

It's supposed to.

CHRISTOPHER CHOICE 🙏🏿 It’s hard not to, especially if you’ve experienced this in real life.

James Brown! one of the truely all time Greats.  one of his many, many under appreciated songs.

I wish this song were played more on the radio stations!! Never hear this played!! I would listen to this song over and over as a youth and now brings so much meaning now that the truth has come.

It's not the kind of song that's played on the radio.

DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG FRIST TIME I HEARD WAS TONIGHT  WATCHING BACK CEASAR GOT AND CAME I SEE IF YOUTUBE HAD.. NOT DOUBT LOVE MY YOU TUBE

LOVE YOU, MISS YOU R.I.P. TO MY MOMA & TO ALL MOMA'S DAM WHAT A SONG TO ALL THE MOMA'S THAT PASS

deepest song , other than say it loud james has ever made.

I heard this song in the movie "Black Ceaser" when the character played by James Williamson's mother dies. What a lovely song truly sung with soul by James...dumb me, at first, I though Gladys Knight sung it!! RIP, James.

My mother fortunately is still alive but, this song just makes me want to reach out to her and embrace her, and tell her Thank You and that I dearly Love her!!

Yeah- thanks for correcting me..guess since I was writing about James Brown I mistakenly called Fred "James"

@Mark Pope actually the original name of the movie released in England was the Godfather of Harlem, but after  the Godfather of soul wrote the soundtrack without ever having seen the movie the name was changed to black caesar. James only read the script. Awsome soundtrack. You are blessed to stll have your mom with you. cherish each moment 

@BLACKMQQN * Minnie Gentry was the lady that played Fred Williamson`s mother in that film. 

@gary kelly Thanks Gary for the history and nice comments! "Godfather of Harlem" I think would have been a better title that the producers should have stuck with for the U.S. release. 

Love this song

This is truly a sad song.James Brown at his best!!!!!!!!!!

mama's dead, because cancer has a cure and our government has been lying to us and did not help.......they killed her and they are killing everyone knowing that the cure was natural and because of them illegal..............f/u, my mama is dead......my pain is not gone.

They killed my friend's mom too, she also had cancer. So sad, she was such a nice lady and she will be missed.
