Mama Told Me

My mother said that I had to go to school
My mother said it was a gold rule
My mother said that I shouldn't play in the dirt
My mother said not to chase a dirt skirt

Mama told me
When I was young
Mama told me
Don't do things that are dumb
Mama told me
When I was just a boy
Mama told me
Life is made for fun and joy

Mama told me
When I was in my teens
Mama told me
Keep away from ones not clean
Mama told me
When I was just a lad
Keep away from all the things that are bad

The light of life is my candle
And it's brighter than I've ever seen
The light of life is my candle
And it's shining down on you and me
Or is it only a dream
