Mama Said

Oh mama said, "Girl, you better learn how to pray
Oh, you've got a soul, a soul to save
Girl you've been looking, for an education
Child, you better fall on your knees
Before you fall in the wrong direction"

Through many of the trials I have known
Tryna to give my children a happy home
Through times of trouble and tears from worry
Whoa, I'm trying to keep my head held high
Teach my feet not to be in such a hurry, hm

Oh, it was a cold February morn'
East Texas baby girl was born
I prayed for her soul to sing a righteous song
Whoa, and when my head grows cold Lord
Keep her in a light that's strong

Mama said, "Girl, you better learn how to pray
Oh, you've got a soul, a soul to save
Try, you've been looking, for an education
(Ain't nothin' wrong with that now)

Girl you better fall on your knees
Before you fall in the wrong direction"
You better fall on your knees
Before you fall in the wrong direction
Mama said
