Stan Kenton - Mama Sang A Song lyrics

rate me

God put a song<br />

In the heart of an angel<br />

And softly, she sang it to me<br />

<br />

I get to thinking lots of times<br />

About back when I was a lad<br />

Of the old homeplace<br />

Where I growed up<br />

Of the days, both good and bad<br />

<br />

My overalls was hand me downs<br />

My shoes was full of holes<br />

And I used to walk four miles<br />

To school every day<br />

Through the rain and<br />

The sleet and the cold<br />

<br />

I've seen the nights<br />

When my daddy would cry<br />

For the things that his<br />

Family would need<br />

But all he ever got<br />

Was a badland farm and<br />

Seven hungry mouths to feed<br />

<br />

And yet, and yet our<br />

Home fire never flickered once<br />

'Cause when all these<br />

Things went wrong<br />

Mama took the hymn book down<br />

And mama sang a song<br />

<br />

I guess the house is still standing<br />

I don't get back much no more<br />

No voice is left to fill them halls<br />

And no steps to grace the floor<br />

<br />

You see<br />

My mama sings in Heaven now<br />

Around God's golden throne<br />

But I'll always believe<br />

This world's a better place<br />

One time<br />

My mama sang a song<br />

<br />

Precious memories fill my soul
