I remember on the front porch Papa said, "There's somethin' I to say tonight Mama's been sick for a long Let's to God she can make it through tonight"
Mama, don't wanna say She said those tears from your eyes Mama, I don't say goodbye It was written in the Heavens and the skies Son I gave you birth, you all my love I think of this life without you, it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm afraid to say
"Now kids been hangin' on a long time I hate to leave this world you're grown Remember everything I taught you all the good times when I'm gone
Oh, mama, don't wanna say She said "Wipe those tears your eyes" Mama, I don't say goodbye It was in the Heavens and the skies above "Son I you birth, showed you all my love" I can't think of this life without you but it's 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 nothin' left to say Jesus walked on water, I know it's When it comes time he'll you home, I hope you're ready too"
