My mama loved my [D] dad for 50 [G] years And [C] she worked along beside him [G] in the field
[C] He never gave her much [D] But he gave her [G] all he had
Dad's the [D] only reason [G] mama lived My mama's face would light up like a diamond
[C] Each time my daddy walked into [G] the room She'd [C] stop what she was doing
[G] And put her arms around him Dad's the [D] only world my [G] mama knew
Mama never saw her roses bloom that year [C] The angels came before the [G] robin's song
[C] Mama said she didn't [G] mind going on ahead But heaven [D] won't be heaven till [G] daddy's home
When mama left she left dad a lonely man [C] But he'd talk to mama like she was [G] still here
[C] He'd talk about the hard times [G] and the good times that dad [G] had
As his old [D] mind slipped back [G] across the years Daddy [D] never plowed his [G] fields again
[C] He'd just sit down and wait his [G] time to come Then [C] one day he said I think [G] I hear a choir singing
He closed his eyes [D] and went to live [G] with mom
[C] Lord I want to thank you for the years they were here for me [G] to love
[C] And though it's hard to let them go Lord I know I'd go again
If [D] I could just have been there And seen my mama's face when [G] dad walked in
