Lyrics Carl Perkins

Carl Perkins

Mama

Mama, here's to mama

Who was the first to love me so

And tenderly helped me to grow, mama

Who cleaned my nose and washed my clothes

And kept me warm through the winter's cold, mama

Who was the first to give me life

The first to teach me about Christ, mama

Mama, here's to mama

Who did without to feed her kid

And loved me so the way you did, mama

Guide me through God's shining way, mama

And although I cannot repay

I love you, mom and will always, mama

This is your son, oh mama, I love you

I'm singing your song, oh mama, I need you

Though I'm too big now to cry

Yeah, that's a tear, mom, in my eye

Mama, mama, I need you

And I mama, I'm coming home to you
