Mama Songtext
von Garnett Silk

I always love my Mama, she′s my favorite girl
Oh Mama, oh Mama, Mama, Mama, my sweet Mama

My Daddy was a good old man, but he died since I was one
So you see it was my Mother alone, with the responsibility in her hand
She struggled hard to feed and send us to school
She didn't want us to grow like fools
And now I′ve got to give thanks, for the good things she has done

Oh Mama, I love you true, and I know you love me too
Oh Mama, Mama, won't make you blue
I wish that every mother was as sweet as you are
I know, I know, I know, you're my shining star
Stay by me, never go too far

Oh Mama, you can depend on me now
′Cause I see you have tried your best
Now it′s up to me to do the rest


Mama taught us how to pray, I can remember hear Mama say
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
No wonder I saw Mama with a Bible in her hand
Reading and praying, tears rolling from her eyes
I asked her and say, "Mama, please don't cry
Just remember God is standing by"

Say, Mama, you can depend on me now
′Cause I see you have tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

I′m gonna work until I'm old and gray
Because Mama is depending on me
It doesn′t matter what I do now
I just got to get your bread somehow
Lord, make me capable to put food on Mama's table
Oh Mama, Mama, won't make you blue
I wish that every mother was as sweet as you are
I know, I know, I know, you′re my shining star
Stay by me, never go too far

Oh Mama, you can depend on me now
′Cause I see you have tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest
Oh Mama, you can depend on me now
′Cause I see you have tried your best
Now it's up to me to do the rest

Oh Mama, Mama, my sweet Mama
