I Dreamed About Mama Last Night - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)[00:00:00]
I've just been to heaven with someone so true[00:00:07]
I dreamed about mama last night[00:00:15]
She read me the bible like she used to do[00:00:22]
I dreamed about mama last night[00:00:30]
She never close her eyes to sleep[00:00:37]
Till we were all in bed[00:00:40]
And on party nights till we came home[00:00:42]
She often sat and read[00:00:45]
But we little thought about it then[00:00:48]
Cause we were young and gay[00:00:50]
Just how much mama worried[00:00:52]
When we children were away[00:00:54]
We only knew she never slept and[00:00:56]
When we were out at night[00:00:58]
That she waited just to know that[00:01:01]
We'd all come home alright[00:01:02]
Why sometimes when we'd stay away[00:01:07]
Till one or two or three[00:01:09]
It seemed to us that's been heard the turnin' of the key[00:01:11]
For always when we'd step inside[00:01:15]
She'd call and we'd reply[00:01:18]
But we were all too young back[00:01:21]
Then to understand the reason why[00:01:22]
Until the last one had returned[00:01:26]
She'd always keep a light[00:01:28]
For mama couldn't sleep until[00:01:31]
She kissed us all goodnight[00:01:32]
She had to know[00:01:36]
That we were safe before she went to rest[00:01:37]
For she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones[00:01:41]
She loved best and once she said[00:01:44]
When you have grown into woman and to men[00:01:47]
Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through[00:01:52]
I may be different then[00:01:54]
And it seemed that night and day[00:01:57]
We knew a mother's care[00:01:59]
For always when we got back home[00:02:01]
We'd find her waitin' there[00:02:04]
Then came the night that[00:02:07]
We were called to gather round her bed[00:02:08]
The children all with you now the kindly doctor said[00:02:11]
And in her eyes there gleamed again[00:02:17]
That old time tender light[00:02:19]
That told she'd been waiting[00:02:22]
Just to know that we were all alright[00:02:24]
She smiled that old familiar smile[00:02:27]
And prayed to god to keep[00:02:30]
Her children safe from harm throughout the years[00:02:33]
And then mama went to sleep[00:02:36]
My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep[00:02:40]
I dreamed about mama last night[00:02:48]
