[00:00:05] Written by：Carl Perkins

[00:00:16] Now y'was just a young fellah Son

[00:00:20] The night your poor Mama died

[00:00:23] And you don't remember it now

[00:00:25] Why we was both right there by Mama's side

[00:00:30] Ya see your Ma had this sickness Boy

[00:00:34] From all the hard work she'd done

[00:00:38] And she prayed all of her life

[00:00:41] That God would let her raise her baby to be twenty-one

[00:00:47] Aw me and you never moved into town Boy

[00:00:51] We just kept on livin' out here

[00:00:54] And life's been pretty bad

[00:00:57] For the past twenty-one years

[00:01:01] Aw I remember now when you was a little fellah

[00:01:06] And I used to take my boy to church

[00:01:10] And I seen you in the choir with them other young'uns

[00:01:13] And it gave this heart a jerk

[00:01:17] Ah you sounded like a little bitty angel Boy

[00:01:22] And to Papa you sure did look sweet

[00:01:27] Even though your little ragged britches

[00:01:30] They came half-way to your skinny little knees

[00:01:35] After the service was all over

[00:01:39] Aw it always filled your Papa's heart with joy

[00:01:43] The good Preacher'd step down

[00:01:44] And he'd pat your little head and then he'd say

[00:01:49] Carlin you've got yourself a fine little boy

[00:01:56] Then me and you'd get in the wagon Child

[00:01:59] And you'd look over towards me

[00:02:01] And you know you just smiled an'

[00:02:03] Why I'd hand you the lines

[00:02:07] And I'd let you drive for a little while

[00:02:11] Oh I guess life has been tough

[00:02:14] For me and for you too Son

[00:02:19] And I know tonight that I've prayed all of my life

[00:02:24] That I could raise my baby to be twenty-one

[00:02:28] So tonight Son

[00:02:31] Livin' the life down here is about over

[00:02:35] And my work's on earth about done

[00:02:39] Maybe now I'll get to go see the Lord

[00:02:42] And to live with your Mama

[00:02:46] Aw thank you Lord

[00:02:49] 'Cause tonight my baby is twenty-one

[00:03:04] Precious sacred scenes untold
