She'd wake us up early mornin' She'd help us say our prayers every She was always there to help us the hard times We count on her to make everything alright
I remember on the front porch Papa said, "There's somethin' I need to say been sick for a long time Let's pray to God she can it through tonight"
Mama, don't say goodbye She said those tears from your eyes Mama, I don't wanna say It was written in the and the skies above Son I you birth, showed you all my love I can't of this life without you, it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm afraid to say
"Now I've been hangin' on a long time I hate to leave this world before you're Remember everything I taught you Remember all the good when I'm gone
Oh, mama, don't wanna say She said "Wipe those tears from eyes" Mama, I don't say goodbye It was written in the and the skies above "Son I you birth, showed you all my love" I can't think of this without you but it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm to say goodbye
She in my ear before she passed away "Son it's time to be a man ain't left to say Jesus walked on water, I know it's When it comes he'll call you home, I hope you're ready too"
