Mama left us years ago
Influenza took her so
Daddy raised us up and there’s no-one else
He’s getting’ up in the mornin’ sun
Comin’ home when his days work’s done
He’s walkin’ slow and hummin’ to hisself
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
Hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
He’s sittiin’ back in his easy chair
He got the fireflies and the even’ air
And he’d light his pipe us kids are all sittin’ here
He’d tell his tales of Robert Lee
Of God’s sweet love for his family
And later from our beds while we could hear
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
And days go by; winter’s cold
We grew up and he grew old
Stickin’ to a house we all called home
We tried to move him into town
But he’d smile us “Thanks”
Then he’d turn us down and say
“Don’t you know I’m really not alone”
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
I guess we don’t forget the day
He said, “Boys, I gotta slip away”
And then like the sun, he’s sinkin’ in the west
You’re kids are grown, my work’s done
Well praise the Lord, God bless you son
I’m goin’ home to the one I love the best
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
And he’d go
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
He’s hummin’ a tune that mama loved so well
