Mama Said Lyrics - Foster Ruthie

Woah mama said girl 

You better learn how to pray 

Oh you got a soul 

A soul to save 

Girl you've been looking 

For an education 

Child you better fall on your knees 

Before you fall in the wrong direction 

Ooh many a trials I have known 

Tryin' to give my children 

A happy home 

In times of trouble 

And tears from worry 

Woah I'm trying to keep my head held 

Teach my feet not to be in such a hurry 

Oh it was a cold February morn' 

This Texas baby girl was born 

I prayed for her soul 

To sing a righteous song 

And when my head grows cold Lord 

Keep her in a light that's strong 

Mama said girl 

You better learn how to pray 

Oh you got a soul 

A soul to save 

Child you been lookin' 

For an education 

(Ain't nothin' wrong with that now)
