Soldier Story
(Hey)
(Wooo)
Mother, Mother, Mother (Wooo, hoooo)
"Hey, Mama, I’m off to be a soldier"
And his Mama said
"Well, boy come let me hold ya"
Then son said
"Hey, Mama, tell me why you cryin’"
Then Mama said
"Son, most of them is dyin’"
Then son said
"Mama, they gonna pay for
College, ‘cause Lord knows
Lord knows you’ve been tryin’"
Then Mama said
"Hey now, they was more or less
Two more that I’ve already lost
Your father and your brother Ryan"
Then son said
"Mama, I’m gonna miss my girlfriend if she
Gets a new boyfriend I’ll die inside"
Then Mama said
"I hope to hear from you soon please, call if
You can’t write, son please, pray at night
Pray night and day"
The son said
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you, pray hard"
(yeah)
The son said
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son I’m gonna pray for you, oh hard, yeah"
(Wooo) "Soldier wake up and give me
50 push-ups, right now, boy get out of bed"
The son said
"Sergeant, man, it’s so early, OK"
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Then the sergeant said
"Soldier, you are on your way to Iraq
So get packed and get back in one piece"
(Hey)
Then the soldier thought about his Mama so
Right then he calls her and
Before Mama can say two words all
She heard was her son say
"Mama, pray for me"
The son said
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you
I’ll be prayin for you"
The son said
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you"
(Awww)
(Wooo)

(Awww, Mama)
(Pray)
(Say a prayer for me)
(Wooo)
The son said
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you"
(Awww yeah)
The son said
(Hey, Hey)
"Mama, say a prayer for me"
Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you

The son said

Mama said
"Son, I’m gonna pray for you"

Hey then I’d see my Mama fall she said
