Mama's Song - Jackie DeShannon

Mama raised seven children all alone

Workin' hard every day, all day long

Through the days, through the years

There was sorrow and tears

But Mama kept singin' a song

And she’d go

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Memories of my childhood linger on

Of that poor little shack we call home

How when trouble got us down

After supper we’d gathered around

And Mama would sing us a song

And she’d go

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Here I am a thousand miles away from home

The one I love said goodbye, now he’s gone

Though he meant the world to me

Life’s too short for misery

So I think I’ll sing Mama’s song

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm
