《Mama Sang a Song》歌词

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

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

[00:00:10] And softly she sang it to me

[00:00:22] I get to thinking lots of times

[00:00:24] 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

[00:00:36] My shoes were full of holes

[00:00:39] I used to walk four miles to school every day

[00:00:42] Through the rain the sleet and the cold

[00:00:46] I've seen the nights

[00:00:47] When my daddy would cry

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

[00:00:52] But all he ever got was a badland farm

[00:00:56] And seven hungry mouths to feed

[00:01:00] And yet and yet our homefire

[00:01:03] Never flickered once

[00:01:05] 'Cause when all these things went wrong

[00:01:09] Mama took the hymn book down

[00:01:11] And mama sang a song

[00:01:13] What a friend we have in Jesus

[00:01:24] I've been rocked to sleep many a night

[00:01:26] To the tune of What a Friend

[00:01:28] And come morning Rock of Ages

[00:01:30] Would wake me gently once again

[00:01:33] And when daddy would reach up

[00:01:34] And he'd take the Bible down

[00:01:36] And he'd read it

[00:01:37] Read it loud and long

[00:01:39] And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed

[00:01:43] When daddy would say mama sing a song

[00:01:48] Sister left home first I guess and then Bob

[00:01:52] And then Tommy and then Dan

[00:01:55] By then dad's hair was turning white

[00:01:58] And I had to be my mama's little man

[00:02:01] But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak

[00:02:04] My mother's faith just grew strong

[00:02:08] And those were the greatest days of all

[00:02:11] When mama sang a song

[00:02:14] Rock of ages cleft for me

[00:02:24] Let me hide myself in Thee

[00:02:34] Do do do

[00:02:36] I guess the house is still standing

[00:02:38] I don't get to go back much anymore

[00:02:41] No voice is left to fill those halls

[00:02:45] And no steps to grace the floor

[00:02:48] For you see my mother sings in heaven now

[00:02:53] Around God's golden throne

[00:02:56] But I'll always believe

[00:02:57] That this world is a better place

[00:03:01] Because one time my mama sang a song

[00:03:09] Precious memries flod my soul
