[A]
[G] [A] [D] God [G] put a song [F#] in the heart [Bm] of an angel, [Em] and softly she [A] sang it [D] to me.
[Bm]
[A] [D] I get to thinking a lot of times about back when I was a lad, [G] of the old home place [D] where
I grew up, and of the days both good and bad.
[Bm] My [E] overalls were hand-me-downs, [A] my shoes were full of holes.
I used to walk four [C#] miles to [D] school nearly every day, through the rain, the sleet, and the cold.
[G] I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry for the [D] things that his family would need,
but all daddy ever got [Bm] was a bad [A] land farm and seven [D] hungry mouths to feed.
And yet, and yet our home fire never flickered once, [A] because when all these things went wrong,
[D] mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song.
What friend we [G] have in Jesus.
Oh, I've been [D] rocked to sleep many a night to the tune of what a friend.
And then come morning, and [A] rock of ages would wake me gently once again.
And then I remember how daddy used to [D] reach up and he'd take the Bible down and he'd read
it loud and long.
[G] And I always felt that babe was blessed when daddy would say, [D] mama, sing a song.
Sister left [A] home first, I guess, and then [D] Bob, and then Tommy, and then Dan.
By then, dad's hair [C] was turning [G] white and I sort of had to be mama's little man.
But you know, it seemed that as [C] my daddy's back grew weak, my [G] mother's faith grew strong.
And those were the greatest days of [D] all, when [G] mama sang a song.
Rock of ages, [C] left [G] for me.
Let me hide [D] myself [G] in thee.
[D] [Em]
[D] I guess the old house is still standing.
I don't get to go home [G] very much anymore.
No voice is left [Bm] now to fill [Em] those [D] halls, and no steps to grace the floor.
For [G] you see, my mother sings up in heaven now, up around God's golden throne.
[C] But [G] I'll always believe that this [C] whole world is a better place.
Because one [G] time, my mama sang a song.
Precious memories, bloodline so [Am] old.
