Johnny Cash - Song to mama lyrics

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

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


(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)
