She'd wake us up early mornin' She'd help us say our every night She was always there to help us the hard times We could count on her to everything alright
I remember swingin' on the front Papa said, "There's I need to say tonight Mama's been for a long time pray to God she can make it through tonight"
Mama, wanna say goodbye She said wipe tears from your eyes Mama, I don't say goodbye It was in the Heavens and the skies above Son I you birth, showed you all my love I can't think of this life without you, hard to try Oh, mama, I'm to say goodbye
"Now kids I've been on a long time I to leave this world before you're grown Remember everything that I you all the good times when I'm gone
Oh, mama, don't say goodbye She said "Wipe those tears from eyes" Mama, I don't say goodbye It was in the Heavens and the skies above "Son I gave you birth, you all my love" I can't think of life without you but it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm to say goodbye
She whispered in my ear before she passed "Son time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say walked on water, I know it's true When it comes time he'll call you home, I hope ready too"
Mama don't wanna say Wipe those tears from eyes Mama, I don't say goodbye in the Heavens and the skies above Gave you birth, you all my love think of this life without you but it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm afraid to say goodbye, oh,
Oh, mama, I don't say goodbye, oh
