I had a dream one night
I dreamed I went home
To live with Jesus
And when I got there
One of the first things I saw was Momma's face
I began to sing a song that I never sung in my life
And my song said
Hello Mother
I done made it over
Hello Mother
I done made it over
And I don't know about you
But sometimes I had to cry
But he wiped the tears
From my eyes
And I made it over
And I'm alright now
(One more time)
Hello mother
I done made it over
You know what
I got mistreated sometimes
That's alright
Still I made it over
I don't know about ya'll but
Sometimes I had to cry
Sometimes enemies
Went all the way around me
But I kept on singing
Kept on praying
Kept on praying
(ad-libs)
He wiped the tears
From my eyes
I made it over
I made it over
And I'm alright now
