Mama Sang a Song - Bill Anderson[00:00:00]
God put a song in the heart of an angel[00:00:00]
And softly she sang it to me[00:00:10]
I get to thinking lots of times[00:00:22]
About back when I was a lad[00:00:24]
Of the old homeplace where I grew up[00:00:26]
Of the days both good and bad[00:00:29]
My overalls were hand-me-downs[00:00:32]
My shoes were full of holes[00:00:36]
I used to walk four miles to school every day[00:00:39]
Through the rain the sleet and the cold[00:00:42]
I've seen the nights[00:00:46]
When my daddy would cry[00:00:47]
For the things that his family would need[00:00:48]
But all he ever got was a badland farm[00:00:52]
And seven hungry mouths to feed[00:00:56]
And yet and yet our homefire[00:01:00]
Never flickered once[00:01:03]
'Cause when all these things went wrong[00:01:05]
Mama took the hymn book down[00:01:09]
And mama sang a song[00:01:11]
What a friend we have in Jesus[00:01:13]
I've been rocked to sleep many a night[00:01:24]
To the tune of What a Friend[00:01:26]
And come morning Rock of Ages[00:01:28]
Would wake me gently once again[00:01:30]
And when daddy would reach up[00:01:33]
And he'd take the Bible down[00:01:34]
And he'd read it[00:01:36]
Read it loud and long[00:01:37]
And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed[00:01:39]
When daddy would say mama sing a song[00:01:43]
Sister left home first I guess and then Bob[00:01:48]
And then Tommy and then Dan[00:01:52]
By then dad's hair was turning white[00:01:55]
And I had to be my mama's little man[00:01:58]
But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak[00:02:01]
My mother's faith just grew strong[00:02:04]
And those were the greatest days of all[00:02:08]
When mama sang a song[00:02:11]
Rock of ages cleft for me[00:02:14]
Let me hide myself in Thee[00:02:24]
Do do do[00:02:34]
I guess the house is still standing[00:02:36]
I don't get to go back much anymore[00:02:38]
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[00:02:56]
That this world is a better place[00:02:57]
Because one time my mama sang a song[00:03:01]
Precious memries flod my soul[00:03:09]
