A complete take of this song was recorded for Bob Dylan's second 1964 album
''Another Side Of Bob Dylan'', but for reasons unknown, it was rejected.
Anyway, the best way to play this song is:
Capo on the 5th fret:

Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
I don't mean trouble please
don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin' "I
can't forget."
I do not walk the floor bowed
down an' bent but yet
Mama you been on my mind.
Verse 3
Even though my mind is hazy an'
my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me
nor bring me down in sorrow.
It don't even matter to me where
you're wakin' up tomorrow
But mama you're just on my mind.
Verse 4
I am not askin' you to say words
like "yes" or "no"
Please understand me I got no
place for you t' go.
I'm just breathin' to myself
pretendin' not that I don't know
Mama you been on my mind.

Outro
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
