G C
She'd wake us up early every morning
G D
She'd help us say our prayers every night
G C
She was always there to help us through the hard times
G D G
We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swinging on the front porch
Papa said there's something I need to say tonight
Mama's been sick for a long time
Let's pray to God she can make it through the night
Chorus:
G
Mama don't want to say goodbye
D
She said wipe those tears from your eyes
G D
Mama I don't wanna say goodbye
G
It was written in the Heavens and the skies above
D
Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
C D
I can't think of this life without you
G C
it's hard to try
D G
Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye
Now kids I've been hanging on a long time
I hate to leave this world before your grown
Remember everything that I've taught you
Remember all the good times when I'm gone
Chorus
She whispered in my ear before she passed away
Son it's time to be a man ain't nothing left to say
Jesus walked on water I know it's true
When it comes time he'll call you home
I hope your ready too
