Lynyrd Skynyrd - Mama Lyrics
(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)She'd wake us up early every mornin'She'd help us say our prayers every nightShe was always there to help us through the hard timesWe could count on her to make everything alrightI remember swingin' on the front porchPapa said there's somethin' i need to say tonightMama's been sick for a long timeLet's pray to god she can make it through the night(chorus)Mama don't wanna say goodbyeShe said wipe those tears from your eyesMama i don't wanna say goodbyeIt was written in the heavens and the skies aboveSon i gave you birth showed you all my loveI can't think of this life without you it's hard to tryMama i'm afraid to say goodbyeNow kids i've been hangin' on a long timeI hate to leave this world before your grownRemember everything that i've taught youRemember all the good times when i'm gone(repeat chorus)She whispered in my ear before she passed awaySon it's time to be a man ain't nothin' left to sayJesus walked on water i know it's trueWhen it comes time he'll call you homeI hope your ready too(repeat chorus)
