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