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