Mama Said lyrics

Woah mama said girl

You better learn how to pray

Oh you 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

Ooh many a trials I have known,

Tryin' to give my children a happy home

In times of trouble and tears from worry.

Woah I'm trying to keep my head held

Teach my feet not to be in such a hurry

Oh it was a cold February morn'

This Texas baby girl was born

I prayed for her soul to sing a righteous song

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 got a soul, а soul to save.

Child you've been looking for an education

Girl you better fall on your knees

Before you fall in the wrong direction

Girl you better fall on your knees

Before you fall in the wrong direction

Girl you better fall on your knees

Before you fall in the wrong direction
