《Mama Sang a Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Sang A Song - Walter Brennan

[00:00:17] I get to thinking lots of times

[00:00:18] About back when I was a lad

[00:00:20] Of the old home place where I growed up

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

[00:00:26] My overalls was hand me downs

[00:00:28] My shoes was full of holes

[00:00:30] And I used to walk four miles

[00:00:32] To school every day

[00:00:33] Though the rain and the sleet and the cold

[00:00:37] I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry

[00:00:39] For the things that his family would need

[00:00:42] But all he ever got was a bad land farm

[00:00:45] And seven hungry mouths to feed

[00:00:48] And yet and yet

[00:00:49] Our home fire never flickered once

[00:00:52] 'Cause when all these things went wrong

[00:00:55] Mama took the hymn book down

[00:00:57] And mama sang a song

[00:01:00] What a friend we have in jesus

[00:01:07] I been rocked to sleep many a night

[00:01:09] To the tune of what a friend

[00:01:12] Come morning

[00:01:12] Rock of ages would waken me gently once again

[00:01:17] Then dad he'd reach up and take the bible down

[00:01:19] And read it read it loud and long

[00:01:23] I always thought that maybe our home was blest

[00:01:26] When daddy would say mama sing a song

[00:01:30] Sister left home first I guess

[00:01:32] Then bob and then tommy and then dan

[00:01:35] Then dad's hair was turnin white

[00:01:38] And I had to be mama's little man

[00:01:41] But it seemed that as daddy's back growed weak

[00:01:43] Mother's faith just growed strong

[00:01:46] And them were the greatest days of all

[00:01:49] When mama sang a song

[00:01:51] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:01:58] Let me hide myself in thee

[00:02:07] I guess the house is still standing

[00:02:09] I don't get back much no more

[00:02:11] No voice is left to fill them halls

[00:02:14] And no steps to grace the floor

[00:02:16] You see my mama sings in heaven now

[00:02:19] Around god's golden throne

[00:02:22] But I'll always believe this world

[00:02:24] Is a better place because

[00:02:27] One time my mama sang a song

[00:02:34] Precious memories fill my soul
