Mammie - Dolly Parton[00:00:00]

Mammie delivered me into this world[00:00:01]

Mammie watched my mama die at my birth[00:00:08]

And Mammie she loved me[00:00:15]

She took me to raise[00:00:18]

Mammie was all I had on this earth[00:00:21]

Let's get in the firewood [00:00:31]

I'd hear Mammie say[00:00:33]

Let's go to the spring before it gets dark[00:00:35]

And you do up the dishes[00:00:42]

While the water's still hot[00:00:44]

And don't throw[00:00:46]

That dishwater out in the yard[00:00:48]

Oh Mammie taught me[00:00:51]

How to sing a song[00:00:55]

She taught me to play her old guitar[00:00:58]

And at night before bedtime[00:01:01]

We'd sing for hours[00:01:04]

As the teakettle whistled along on the fire[00:01:06]

And at night as[00:01:12]

I laid alone in my bed[00:01:14]

I'd hear Mammie praying[00:01:17]

And each night she said[00:01:19]

Oh dear God help me raise[00:01:24]

Her to know right from wrong[00:01:26]

And I pray[00:01:28]

She'll do right even after I 'm gone [00:01:29]

I'd wait until Mammie had fallen asleep[00:01:37]

Then out of my window[00:01:41]

I'd quietly sneak[00:01:43]

And I'd wait[00:01:48]

By the mill pond according to plans[00:01:49]

And there in the darkness[00:01:52]

I'd meet a man[00:01:54]

Oh it's not[00:01:59]

That I wanted to bring Mammie shame[00:02:00]

I just couldn't control wild blood in my veins[00:02:03]

They tell me my mama[00:02:10]

Could not name my dad[00:02:12]

So I guess it was natural for me to be bad[00:02:14]

One night I awoke at the sound of my name[00:02:21]

Come quickly [00:02:25]

I heard Mammie cry[00:02:27]

She said you be good[00:02:29]

And I told her I would and[00:02:31]

That night I watched as my Mammie died[00:02:34]

All I have now are the memories of Mammie[00:02:41]

And the goodness that loving her brought me[00:02:45]

Although she is gone in my heart she lives on[00:02:48]

And I know how much good she taught me [00:02:53]

Ah Mammie I'm being good Mammie[00:02:57]
