daddy he left home leaving ma and me
i was just a kid at the age of three
mamma raised me up did everything she could
did everything for me that a mother should

always there fo me with her love so strong
did her very best to teach me right from wrong
she would comfort me when i began to cry
hold me in her arms till the tears run dry

she would sing a song when it was time for bed
a lovely lullaby as she stroked my head
i would fall asleep with mama there with me
she was everything that a mum could be

now im all grown up i remember mammas way
and the love she gave me every single day
the song she sang to me when it was time for bed
i still hear the words running through my head
