《Mama Sang a Song》歌词

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

[00:00:02] God put a song in the heart of an angel

[00:00:09] And softly she sang it to me

[00:00:21] I get to thinking lots of times

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

[00:00:26] Of the old homeplace where I grew up

[00:00:29] Of the days both good and bad

[00:00:32] My overalls were hand-me-downs

[00:00:35] My shoes were full of holes

[00:00:38] I used to walk four miles to school every day

[00:00:41] Through the rain the sleet and the cold

[00:00:45] I've seen the nights

[00:00:46] When my daddy would cry

[00:00:48] For the things that his family would need

[00:00:51] But all he ever got was a badland farm

[00:00:55] And seven hungry mouths to feed

[00:00:59] And yet and yet our homefire

[00:01:02] Never flickered once

[00:01:04] Cause when all these things went wrong

[00:01:07] Mama took the hymn book down

[00:01:10] And mama sang a song

[00:01:12] What a friend we have in Jesus

[00:01:22] I've been rocked to sleep many a night

[00:01:24] To the tune of What a Friend

[00:01:27] And come morning Rock of Ages

[00:01:29] Would wake me gently once again

[00:01:31] And when daddy would reach up

[00:01:33] And he'd take the Bible down

[00:01:34] And he'd read it

[00:01:35] Read it loud and long

[00:01:38] And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed

[00:01:41] When daddy would say mama sing a song

[00:01:46] Sister left home first I guess and then Bob

[00:01:50] And then Tommy and then Dan

[00:01:53] By then dad's hair was turning white

[00:01:55] And I had to be mama's little man

[00:01:59] But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak

[00:02:02] My mother's faith just grew strong

[00:02:06] And those were the greatest days of all

[00:02:09] When mama sang a song

[00:02:12] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:02:22] Let me hide myself in Thee

[00:02:33] I guess the house is still standing

[00:02:36] I don't get to go back much anymore

[00:02:39] No voice is left to fill those halls

[00:02:42] And no steps to grace the floor

[00:02:45] For you see my mother sings in heaven now

[00:02:50] Around God's golden throne

[00:02:53] But I'll always believe

[00:02:54] That this world is a better place

[00:02:58] Because one time my mama sang a song

[00:03:07] Precious memries flod my soul
