Текст песни Cal Smith — Mamas Face + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
G D7 G
My mama loved my dad for fifty years
C G
And she worked along beside him in the fields
C G C
He never gave her much but he gave her all he had
G D7 G
Dad's the only reason mama lived
G D7 G
My mama's face would light up like a diamond
C G
Each time my daddy walked into the room
C G C
She'd stop what she was doing and put her arms around him
G D7 G
Dad's the only world my mama knew
D7 G
Mama never saw her roses bloom that year
C G
The angels came before the robin's song
C G
Mama said she didn't mind going on ahead
D7 G
But heaven won't be heaven till daddy’s home
G D7 G
When mama left she left dad a lonely man
C G
But he talked to mama like she was still here
C G C
He'd talk about the hard times and the good times that they'd had
G D7 G
As his old mind slipped back across the years
D7 G
Daddy never plowed his fields again
C G
He’d just sat down and wait his time to come
C G C
Then one day he said I think I hear a choir singing
G D7 G
He closed his eyes and went to live with mom
C G
Lord I wanna thank you for the years they were here for me to love
C G
And though it's hard to let 'em go Lord I know I'd let 'em go again
D7
If I could just have been there
G
And seen my mama's face when dad walked in
