Mama's Funeral |
At mama’s funeral, organs didn’t play |
But you could hear the lonesome sway |
Of the local guitar man |
He played Hank Williams songs |
We all did 'Farther Along' |
The boys drank beer out by the barn |
At mama’s funeral |
Oh the birds showed up to sing |
As we gathered round the ole porch swing |
Where her feet had worn the paint off the boards |
And her pillow sat all faded and torn |
Her children all took turns |
Trying to find the words |
Just wantin to say something right |
Bout the best friend they’d found in life |
And explain it to the nurses that came from the hospital |
To mama’s funeral |
It was surprising to me, thought it’d be as hard as it could be |
But everybody took a little piece of pain |
And they spread it round like summer rain |
And it helped to ease the load |
More than I could’ve known |
At mama’s funeral |
And my family made me proud |
Cause when the cryin got loud |
The laughter followed close behind |
Daddy’d say «now don’t all remember the time…» |
Tables set up all over the place |
Covered with pictures, candles and lace |
The Quik Sack stayed open late |
Sold out of all their cups and paper plates |
To the strangers that gathered up on the hill |
For mama’s funeral |
All the pretty flowers planted by her hands |
Her guitar in a corner sittin on a stand |
Nah nah nah nah… |
