Lyrics Mama's Hand - Hazel Dickens

Mama's Hand

Another year and I’m still here
The grass just will not grow on this old hill
Still I just can’t let it go, I don’t believe it’s
â€~Cause I’m cold or partial to the crazy life I’m caught in
Sometimes I feel the hand of time
Moving like its body was broke
It’s then I miss your sighs
And the tender words you spoke
Hey, that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together
Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don’t have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand
Another year is dead and gone
The sun don’t want to shine on this old hill
Or anything that’s mine
I don’t believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop you sow is a failure
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
I’d go off and sell my soul
How do you say goodbye
To the only truth you’ve known
Hey, that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together
Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand
Baby, baby, I promise not to throw you
You don’t have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand
Oh babe, honey everybody makes mistakes
We feel a lot of life that way
Don’t you think by now I know that?
Look it’s brought us both back
Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds start spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again and again, oh again
Hey that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together
Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand
Around and around with you I’ve been
(Hold an old friend’s)
Flat on the ground and up again
(Hold an old friend’s hand)
Nobody knows for sure just when everything changes
(Won't you whisper my name again)
Again and again, oh again
