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 |
|
A soul to save |
|
Child you been lookin' |
|
For an education |
|
(Ain't nothin' wrong with that now) |
|
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 |
