  • Mama Sang A Song
  • © '61 Moss Rose Publications
  • (God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me)
  • I get to thinking lots of times about back when I was a lad
  • Of the old home place where I grew up of the days both good and bad
  • My overalls were hand-me-downs my shoes were full of holes
  • I used to walk four miles to school every day through the rain the sleet and the cold
  • I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry
  • For the things that his family would need
  • But all he ever got was a badland farm and seven hungry mouths to feed
  • And yet and yet our home fire never flickered once
  • Cause when all these things went wrong
  • Mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song
  • (What a friend we have in Jesus)
  • I've been rocked to sleep many a night to the tune of What a Friend
  • And come morning Rock of Ages would wake me gently once again
  • And when daddy would reach up and he'd take the Bible down
  • And he'd read it read it loud and long
  • And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed
  • When daddy would say mama sing a song
  • Sister left home first I guess and then Bob and then Tommy and then Dan
  • By then dad's hair was turning white and I had to be mama's little man
  • But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak my mother's faith just grew strong
  • And those were the greatest days of all when mama sang a song
  • (Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee)
  • I guess the house is still standing I don't get to go back much anymore
  • No voice is left to fill those halls and no steps to grace the floor
  • For you see my mother sings in heaven now around God's golden throne
  • But I'll always believe that this world is a better place
  • Because one time my mama sang a song (precious mem'ries flood my soul)
