Mama Sang A Song - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]
I get to thinking lots of times[00:00:17]
About back when I was a lad [00:00:18]
Of the old home place where I growed up[00:00:20]
Of the days both good and bad [00:00:23]
My overalls was hand me downs [00:00:26]
My shoes was full of holes [00:00:28]
And I used to walk four miles[00:00:30]
To school every day [00:00:32]
Though the rain and the sleet and the cold [00:00:33]
I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry[00:00:37]
For the things that his family would need [00:00:39]
But all he ever got was a bad land farm[00:00:42]
And seven hungry mouths to feed [00:00:45]
And yet and yet [00:00:48]
Our home fire never flickered once [00:00:49]
'Cause when all these things went wrong [00:00:52]
Mama took the hymn book down [00:00:55]
And mama sang a song [00:00:57]
What a friend we have in jesus [00:01:00]
I been rocked to sleep many a night[00:01:07]
To the tune of what a friend[00:01:09]
Come morning [00:01:12]
Rock of ages would waken me gently once again [00:01:12]
Then dad he'd reach up and take the bible down[00:01:17]
And read it read it loud and long [00:01:19]
I always thought that maybe our home was blest[00:01:23]
When daddy would say mama sing a song [00:01:26]
Sister left home first I guess [00:01:30]
Then bob and then tommy and then dan [00:01:32]
Then dad's hair was turnin white[00:01:35]
And I had to be mama's little man [00:01:38]
But it seemed that as daddy's back growed weak [00:01:41]
Mother's faith just growed strong [00:01:43]
And them were the greatest days of all [00:01:46]
When mama sang a song [00:01:49]
Rock of ages cleft for me [00:01:51]
Let me hide myself in thee [00:01:58]
I guess the house is still standing[00:02:07]
I don't get back much no more [00:02:09]
No voice is left to fill them halls [00:02:11]
And no steps to grace the floor [00:02:14]
You see my mama sings in heaven now [00:02:16]
Around god's golden throne [00:02:19]
But I'll always believe this world[00:02:22]
Is a better place because [00:02:24]
One time my mama sang a song [00:02:27]
Precious memories fill my soul[00:02:34]
