What A Memory

Lyrics

On the day mama died,she called daddy to her side.And said,"i'll be goin soon ,I know its gonna hurt you both. But, promise me before i go, you'll do what I Ask of you In a big red folgers can, hid behind the pots and pans you'll find some money That i've saved And in the back of my dresser drawer I put away a little more for a rainy day Go to town and buy that new guitar cause hes been workin awful hard to get his Own To write his songs What a memory,oh what a memory even in her final moments mom thought of me What a memory She was only 35 i was 15 askin why? The lord took her away he must known we Needed her She was an angel here on earth i still miss her everyday.with all her friends And half the town And her family gathered round i bet she never felt so loved when everybodys Heads were bowed i did Best to make her proud as i stood up and i sang rock of ages cleft for me as i Played it on that new six string I couldn't help but cry as we said goodbye Reapeat chorus Even in her final moments mama thought of me What a memory, What a memory
