Mama Sings A Song Lyrics - Bill Anderson

(Bill Anderson) 

(God put a song in the heart of an angel) 

(And softly she sang it to me.) 

I get to thinking lots of times 

About back when I was a lad 

Of the old homeplace where I grew up 

Of the days both good and bad. 

My overalls were hand-me-downs 

My shoes were full of holes 

I used to walk four miles to school every day 

Through the rain, the sleet and the cold. 

I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry 

For the things that his family would need 

But all he ever got was a badland farm 

And seven hungry mouths to feed.

And yet, and yet our homefire never flickered once 

Cause when all these things went wrong 

Mama took the hymn book down 

And mama sang a song. 

(What a friend we have in Jesus.) 

I've been rocked to sleep many a night 

To the tune of What a Friend 

And come morning Rock of Ages 

Would wake me gently once again. 

And when daddy would reach up and he'd take the Bible down 

And he'd read it, read it loud and long. 

And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed 

When daddy would say mama sing a song. 

Sister left home first I guess and then Bob 

And then Tommy and then Dan 

By then dad's hair was turning white 

And I had to be mama's little man.

But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak 

My mother's faith just grew strong 

And those were the greatest days of all 

When mama sang a song. 

(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee.) 

I guess the house is still standing 

I don't get to go back much anymore 

No voice is left to fill those halls 

And no steps to grace the floor. 

For you see my mother sings in heaven now 

Around God's golden throne 

But I'll always believe that this world is a better place 

Because one time my mama sang a song. 

(Precious mem'ries flod my soul.)...
