Momma's Blues

found a note on the table day after momma died
it broke my heart then and everyday has made me cry

she said
there's more to loving than just saying you do
and more to holding on to someone when love is true
wooo wooo oooh

i wasn't there the year before when my papa died
and momma couldn't make it not without him by her side
she said real love lasts longer than years that go bye
not many of us find it no matter how we try (i gotta try)

(instra bar)

now for me you know i had to go on

& all that momma taught me i could never prove her wrong
she said
there's more to lovin than just saying you do
and more to holdin on to someone when love is true
cause
real love lasts longer than all those years that go bye
& not many of us find it no matter how we try. i'm gunna try

wooo ooo oh wooo oh my momma's blues my momma's blues... yea yeah fade out
