Mama Prayed for Me

I remember, when I was just a child

Sitting on mama’s knee

Mama told me

All about the bible

So that I, I might be free

She told me, when I was very young

This old race gonna be hard to run

Oh about early in the morning

I know she

prayed for me

She prayed for me

She prayed

Prayed for me

Prayed for me

She prayed, she prayed for me

Oh about early in the morning

I know she prayed for me

Now when children go away

Mama prayed both night and day

You’d hear her say Lord

Take care of my children

And don’t let em go astray

Oh she’d fall straight down on her knees

Crying Lord take care of my children please

Oh about early in the morning

I know, I know she

prayed for me

She prayed for me

Prayed for me

She prayed, she prayed for me

She prayed for me

She prayed, she prayed for me

Mother bowed down on her bended knees

She prayed for me

Yes she did

She prayed for me

Mama prayed

She prayed for me

I remember the time

She prayed for me

Mama would be in that old kitchen

She prayed for me

Rattling them pots and pans

She prayed for me

See I was nothing but a small boy

She prayed for me

But it still hangs on in my mind

She prayed for me

I want everybody to know

She prayed for me

That my mama prayed for me

She prayed for me

(ad lib and fade out)
