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