Metallica - Mama Said (Acoustic) (only James Hetfield)

James hetfield performing the song Mama Said during the Load tour -1997-

Lyrics:
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I's young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

"Rebel", my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
What never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
Oh Yeah I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
What never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

this song is much better when its only hetfield in my opinion

[LamboLighting]

[WoIfRaiser]

@LamboLighting I am sorry, but that is wrong. He also played it Jessi Colter on CMT's Outlaw Concert

[LamboLighting]

@WoIfRaiser sorry... didn't know about it when i uploaded the video back then.... :)

Eu amo esse cara,eh o homem dos meus sonhos.

[MrAwesomedude96]

@Kylan0728 it's not really the song that's metal... but the band, Metallica, from which James is from is a thrash metal band... listen to their song Seek and Destroy for example...

[tybo09]

@WoIfRaiser I can't find a vid of that anywhere. I'd love to see it, though. I don't think it aired with the concert.
