Mama's Been Sewing

Went out, on a winter's day
A puff of breath, suspended in air
All bundled up in my winter best
A knit hat, mittens, and scarf

Needles and thread, needles and yarn
Mama's been sewin', all of the time
Every stitch, sewin' us together
Weavin' us together with love
Weavin' us together with love

Dressed up in my Nehru jacket
That my mama, made for me
One my way to Sunday worship
Dressed in the latest fad

Needles and thread, needles and yarn
Mama's been sewin', all of the time
Every stitch, sewin' us together
Weavin' us together with love
Weavin' us together with love

Mama's in the livin' room, braidin' a rug
That she made, from our old clothes
Then it's on the floor, a rug of many colors
Warmin' up our toes

Needles and thread, needles and yarn
Mama's been sewin', all of the time
Every stitch, sewin' us together
Weavin' us together with love
Weavin' us together with love

Sneakin' down stairs, on Christmas mornin'
Gettin' up, before sunrise
Wearin' my pajamas, that my Mama made me
With a twinkle in her eye

Needles and thread, needles and yarn
Mama's been sewin', all of the time
Every stitch, sewin' us together
Weavin' us together with love
Weavin' us together with love
