Hank Williams - I Dreamed About Mama Last Night Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I've just been to heaven with someone so true I dreamed about mama last night
  • She read me the Bible like she used to do I dreamed about mama last night
  • She never close her eyes to sleep till we were all in bed
  • And on party nights when we come home she often sat and read
  • We little thought about it then for we were young and gay
  • Just how much mama worried when we children were away
  • We only knew she never slept when we were out at night
  • That she waited just to know that we'd all come home alright
  • Why sometimes when we'd stay away till one or two or three
  • It seemed to us that mama heard the turnin' of the key
  • For always when we'd step aside she'd call and we'd reply
  • But we were all too young back then to understand the reason why
  • Until the last one had returned she'd always keep a light
  • For mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight
  • She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest
  • She seemed to fear that the world might harm the ones that she loved the best
  • And once she told me when you're grown to women and to men
  • Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different then
  • And so it seemed that night and day we knew a mother's care
  • That always when we got back home we'd find her waitin' there
  • Then came the night that we were called together round her bed
  • The children're all with you now the kindly doctor said
  • And in her eyes the gleam again that old time tender light
  • That told that she's just been waitin' to know that we were alright
  • She smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keep
  • Her children safe from harm throughout the years tand then she went to sleep
  • My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep I dreamed about mama last night
