Mama Sang a Song - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
God put a song in the heart of an angel[00:00:01]
And softly she sang it to me[00:00:10]
I get to thinking lots of times[00:00:21]
About back when I was a lad[00:00:22]
Of the old homeplace where I grew up[00:00:26]
Of the days both good and bad [00:00:28]
My overalls were hand-me-downs[00:00:31]
My shoes were full of holes[00:00:34]
I used to walk four miles to school every day[00:00:36]
Through the rain the sleet and the cold [00:00:40]
I've seen the nights[00:00:43]
When my daddy would cry[00:00:45]
For the things that his family would need[00:00:46]
But all he ever got was a badland farm[00:00:50]
And seven hungry mouths to feed[00:00:54]
And yet and yet our homefire[00:00:57]
Never flickered once[00:01:01]
Cause when all these things went wrong[00:01:03]
Mama took the hymn book down[00:01:06]
And mama sang a song [00:01:09]
What a friend we have in Jesus [00:01:11]
I've been rocked to sleep many a night[00:01:20]
To the tune of What a Friend[00:01:22]
And come morning Rock of Ages[00:01:24]
Would wake me gently once again [00:01:27]
And when daddy would reach up[00:01:29]
And he'd take the Bible down[00:01:30]
And he'd read it[00:01:32]
Read it loud and long [00:01:34]
And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed[00:01:36]
When daddy would say mama sing a song [00:01:40]
Sister left home first I guess and then Bob[00:01:45]
And then Tommy and then Dan[00:01:48]
By then dad's hair was turning white[00:01:52]
And I had to be mama's little man [00:01:55]
But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak[00:01:58]
My mother's faith just grew strong[00:02:02]
And those were the greatest days of all[00:02:05]
When mama sang a song [00:02:08]
Rock of ages cleft for me[00:02:11]
Let me hide myself in Thee[00:02:22]
I guess the house is still standing[00:02:34]
I don't get to go back much anymore[00:02:37]
No voice is left to fill those halls[00:02:41]
And no steps to grace the floor [00:02:45]
For you see my mother sings in heaven now[00:02:48]
Around God's golden throne[00:02:53]
But I'll always believe[00:02:57]
That this world is a better place[00:02:59]
Because one time my mama sang a song [00:03:03]
Precious memries flod my soul[00:03:11]
