Jimmy Dean - Mama Sang A Song Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me)
  • 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)
