I remember Mama
And the love
That she gave
Kneeling by her
Bedside
I can still hear
Mama say...
"The people are,
Dependin' on you,
Shirley,
Don't you,
Let them down"
I remember Mama
In a happy way
We went to
School with holes
In our shoes
We didn't
Have much
But the Lord
Saw us through
Mama kept the
Family together
Together
Yeah
And I remember
Mama in a
Happy way
She packed our
Lunch in an
Old greasy bag
It might've seemed
Empty, but it was
More than
Others had
It had a lot of
Love, way down
Deep inside, yeah
And I remember
Mama in a
Happy way
I remember
Mama
In a happy way
Now Mama is
Sleeping in the
Bosom of
Jesus Christ
Somehow I know
She's smiling
She's smiling
On us right now
Look at her now!
One day
I'll see her, again
How happy
I will be, yeah
And I remember
Mama
In a happy way
I remember Mama
In a happy way
My brothers
And sisters
They're living
Far apart
Although my
Mama's gone
She's right here
In our hearts
We're all gonna
Pull together
Stay in a
Holy place
And I remember
Mama in a
Happy way
I remember Mama
I remember
My Mama
Whoo, oh
In a happy...
I remember
My Mama
