Mama's Song

Mama raised seven children all alone
Workin' hard every day, all day long
Through the days, through the years
There was sorrow and tears
But Mama kept singin' a song
And she’d go
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Memories of my childhood linger on
Of that poor little shack we call home
How when trouble got us down
After supper we’d gathered around
And Mama would sing us a song
And she’d go
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Here I am a thousand miles away from home
The one I love said goodbye, now he’s gone
Though he meant the world to me
Life’s too short for misery
So I think I’ll sing Mama’s song
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm
