LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Mama lyrics

rate me

(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)<br />

<br />

She'd wake us up early every mornin'<br />

She'd help us say our prayers every night<br />

She was always there to help us through the hard times<br />

We could count on her to make everything alright<br />

<br />

I remember swingin' on the front porch<br />

Papa said there's somethin' I need to say tonight<br />

Mama's been sick for a long time<br />

Let's pray to God she can make it through the night<br />

<br />

(chorus)<br />

Mama don't wanna say goodbye<br />

She said wipe those tears from your eyes<br />

Mama I don't wanna say goodbye<br />

It was written in the heavens and the skies above<br />

Son I gave you birth showed you all my love<br />

I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try<br />

Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye<br />

<br />

Now kids I've been hangin' on a long time<br />

I hate to leave this world before your grown<br />

Remember everything that I've taught you<br />

Remember all the good times when I'm gone<br />

<br />

(repeat chorus)<br />

<br />

She whispered in my ear before she passed away<br />

Son it's time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say<br />

Jesus walked on water I know it's true<br />

When it comes time he'll call you home<br />

I hope your ready too<br />

<br />

(repeat chorus)
