I Remember Mama |
| I remember mama, |
| And the love that she gave |
| Kneeling by her bed side |
| I can still hear mama say, |
| «the people are depending on you, shirley, |
| Don’t you let them down» |
| I remember mama in a happy way |
| We went to school with holes in our shoes |
| We didn’t have much but the lord saw us through |
| Mama kept the family together |
| I remember mama in a happy way |
| She packed our lunch in an old greasy bag |
| It might’ve seemed empty, |
| But it was more than others had |
| It had a lot of love way down deep inside and |
| I remember mama in a happy way |
| Now mama is sleeping in the bosom of jesus christ |
| Somehow I know she’s smiling, she’s smiling on us right now |
| One day I’ll see her again, how happy I will be |
| And I remember mama in a happy way |
| My brothers and sisters, they’re living far apart |
| Although my mama’s gone, she’s right here in our hearts |
| We’re all gonna pull together and stay in the holy place |
| I remember mama in a happy way |
| I remember mama, I remember mama in a happy way |
