I Dreamed About Mama Last Night Lyrics - Hank Williams

I've just been to heaven with someone so true I dreamed about mama last night 

She read me the Bible like she used to do I dreamed about mama last night 

She never close her eyes to sleep till we were all in bed 

And on party nights when we come home she often sat and read 

We little thought about it then for we were young and gay 

Just how much mama worried when we children were away 

We only knew she never slept when we were out at night 

That she waited just to know that we'd all come home alright 

Why sometimes when we'd stay away till one or two or three 

It seemed to us that mama heard the turnin' of the key 

For always when we'd step aside she'd call and we'd reply 

But we were all too young back then to understand the reason why 

Until the last one had returned she'd always keep a light 

For mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight 

She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest 

She seemed to fear that the world might harm the ones that she loved the best 

And once she told me when you're grown to women and to men 

Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different then 

And so it seemed that night and day we knew a mother's care 

That always when we got back home we'd find her waitin' there 

Then came the night that we were called together round her bed 

The children're all with you now the kindly doctor said 

And in her eyes the gleam again that old time tender light 

That told that she's just been waitin' to know that we were alright 

She smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keep 

Her children safe from harm throughout the years tand then she went to sleep 

My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep I dreamed about mama last night
