C
And softly she sang it to me
I get to thinking lots of times
F
about back when I was a lad
C
Of the old home place where I grew up
G

D
G
Of the days, both good and bad
Dm
G
My overalls were hand -me -downs
C
My shoes were full of holes
F
C
I used to walk four miles
to school every day
F
Through the rain, the sleet,
and the cold
C
I've seen the nights when
my daddy would cry
For the things that his family would need
G
C
But all he ever got was a badland farm
Am
and 700 miles to feed.
C
And yet, and yet our home fire
G
never flickered once.
Cause when all these
C
things were wrong,
Mama took the hymn book down
G
and Mama sang a song.

What a friend we have in Jesus.
I've been rocked to sleep many a night
to the tune of what a friend,

C
rock of ages would wake me gently once again.
And then Daddy would reach up

F
and he'd read it, read it loud and long,
C
and I always felt that maybe our home was blessed

By then, Dad's hair was turning white,
and I had to be Mama's little man.
But it seemed that as Daddy's
F
back grew weak,
C
my mother's faith just grew strong.
F
And those were the greatest days of all,
when Mama sang a song.

Let me hide myself in Thee
I guess the house is still standing
F
But I don't get to go
back there anymore
Dm
C
No voice is left to fill those halls,
F
and no steps to grace the floor.
For you see,
Mother sings in heaven now,
around God's golden throne.
But I'll always believe
Bb
that this world is a better place,
F
because one time,
my mama sang a song.
