Mama Sang A Song Lyrics - Faron Young

(God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me) 

You know I get to thinking a lotta times about back when I was a boy 

The old homeplace where I grew up of the days both good and bad 

My overalls were hand-me-downs my shoes they 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)

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Oh I've been rocked to sleep many a night to the tune of What a Friend 

And come morning Rock of Ages why it would wake me gently once again 

And then dad he'd 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 home was blessed 

When daddy would say mama sing a song 

Let see sister left home first I guess 

And there was Bob and then Tommy and at last was Dan 

By then dad's hair was turning white and I had to be my mama's little man 

But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak 

My mother's faith just grew that much strong 

And those were the greatest days of all it was there 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 there anymore 

Least much no voice is left to fill those halls 

And I bet there ain't even no steps to grace the floor 

Cause you see my mama sings in heaven now up around God's golden throne 

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

Because one time my mama sang a song 

(Precious mem'ries flod my soul)
