LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Mama's Song lyrics

rate me

She'd wake us up early<br />

Every mornin'<br />

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

Every night<br />

She was always there to help us<br />

Through the hard times<br />

We could count on her<br />

To make everything alright<br />

<br />

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

Papa said, there's somethin<br />

I need to say tonight<br />

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

Let's pray to God<br />

She can make it through the night<br />

<br />

{Chorus}:<br />

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

She said<br />

"Wipe those tears from your eyes"<br />

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

It was written in the heavens<br />

And the skies above<br />

"Son, I gave you birth<br />

Showed you all my love"<br />

"I can't think of this life without you<br />

It's hard to try<br />

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

<br />

"Now kids<br />

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

I hate to leave this world<br />

Before you're grown<br />

Remember everything<br />

That I've taught you<br />

Remember all the good times<br />

When I'm gone"<br />

<br />

{Chorus}<br />

<br />

She whispered in my ear<br />

Before she passed away<br />

"Son, it's time to be a man<br />

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 you're ready too"<br />

<br />

{Chorus}
