Mama Sang A Song |
I get to thinkin' lotta times about when I was a lad |
Of the old homeplace where I grew up of the days both good and bad |
My overalls were hand-me-downs shoes full of holes |
I used to walk four miles to school every day through the rain the sleet and |
the cold |
I’ve seen the nights when my daddy would cry |
For the things that his family would need |
But all he ever got was a badland farm and seven hungry mouths to feed |
And yet and somehow our homefire never flickered once |
Cause when all the things went wrong |
Mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song |
(What a friend we have in Jesus) |
I’ve been rocked to sleep many a night to the tune of What a Friend |
Morning come Rock of Ages it gently wake me once again |
Then daddy’d reach up and take the Bible down and he’d read it Read it loud and strong |
And I always felt that maybe our home was blessed |
When daddy’d say mama sing a song |
Sister left home first I guess then Bob and Tommy and Dan |
By then dad’s hair was turning grey and I had to be mama’s little man |
But it seemed that when dad grew weak mom’s faith grew strong |
And I think those were the greatest days of all when mama sang a song |
(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee) |
I guess the old house is still standin' I don’t go back much anymore |
No voice is left to fill those halls no steps to grace the floor |
For you see mama sings in heaven now round God’s golden throne |
But I’ll always believe that this old world is a whole lot better place |
Because one time my mama sang a song (precious mem’ries flood my soul) |
