[Coro]
Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me
[Verso 1]
She always got me out of bed early Sunday morning
And took me out to church where I could learn about Lord
Mama tried to tell me how my life was going to be
But I was young and wild, and it was hard for me to see
[Coro]
[Verso 2]
(Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growing up
And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for
Themselves
I realize now that you always knew just what you were talking about
And mama for all that hard work you did
And for the sacrifices you made for us
I just want to say, thanks a lot)
