Mama Why Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

Oh mama, why did God take my daddy? 

'Cause I'd been good just like he said to be 

I heard daddy pray, "Dear Lord, don't take me from them" 

Oh mama, why did God take him from me? 

Come here, son, you've asked mama somethin' that's 

Even hard for me to understand 

But there's one thing I do know 

Daddy wouldn't wanna see those tears in the eyes of his big man 

So stop cryin' now and listen real careful 

To every word that mama has to say, you see, son 

God picks the sweetest, most beautiful flowers that grow 

And he makes them the brightest, shiniest stars that glow

Now daddy talked with the Lord every day 

And daddy and God were real close 

So let's just say it seems 

That God takes the ones he loves the most 

Oh mama, why did God take my daddy? 

Son, you haven't heard a word that mama said 

So come on now, let's say your prayers 

And mama tuck you in bed

And we mustn't question God 

'Cause he already has everything planned 

And honey, daddy can't ever come back to us 

Though we can go to him 

Oh mama, why did God take him from me?
