《Mama Sang a Song》歌词

[00:03:23] Mama Sang A Song - Bill Anderson

[00:03:23] God put a song in the heart of an angel

[00:03:23] And softly she sang it to me

[00:03:23] I get to thinking lots of times

[00:03:23] About back when I was a lad

[00:03:23] Of the old homeplace where I grew up

[00:03:23] Of the days both good and bad

[00:03:23] My overalls were hand-me-downs

[00:03:23] My shoes were full of holes

[00:03:23] I used to walk four miles to school every day

[00:03:23] Through the rain the sleet and the cold

[00:03:23] I've seen the nights

[00:03:23] When my daddy would cry

[00:03:23] For the things that his family would need

[00:03:23] But all he ever got was a badland farm

[00:03:23] And seven hungry mouths to feed

[00:03:23] And yet and yet our homefire

[00:03:23] Never flickered once

[00:03:23] Cause when all these things went wrong

[00:03:23] Mama took the hymn book down

[00:03:23] And mama sang a song

[00:03:23] What a friend we have in Jesus

[00:03:23] I've been rocked to sleep many a night

[00:03:23] To the tune of What a Friend

[00:03:23] And come morning Rock of Ages

[00:03:23] Would wake me gently once again

[00:03:23] And when daddy would reach up

[00:03:23] And he'd take the Bible down

[00:03:23] And he'd read it

[00:03:23] Read it loud and long

[00:03:23] And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed

[00:03:23] When daddy would say mama sing a song

[00:03:23] Sister left home first I guess and then Bob

[00:03:23] And then Tommy and then Dan

[00:03:23] By then dad's hair was turning white

[00:03:23] And I had to be mama's little man

[00:03:23] But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak

[00:03:23] My mother's faith just grew strong

[00:03:23] And those were the greatest days of all

[00:03:23] When mama sang a song

[00:03:23] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:03:23] Let me hide myself in Thee

[00:03:23] I guess the house is still standing

[00:03:23] I don't get to go back much anymore

[00:03:23] No voice is left to fill those halls

[00:03:23] And no steps to grace the floor

[00:03:23] For you see my mother sings in heaven now

[00:03:23] Around God's golden throne

[00:03:23] But I'll always believe

[00:03:23] That this world is a better place

[00:03:23] Because one time my mama sang a song

[00:03:23] Precious memries flod my soul
