Johnny Cash — Song to mama

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 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 [Chorus] [Verse 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) [Chorus]
