Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young |
|
And knew just when to come and see what you had done? |
|
Mama, oh Mama |
|
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry |
|
'Cause he was too big for you to try? |
|
Mama, Mama |
|
And who's the one you didn't need to plead |
|
To give her time to the Little League? |
|
It was Mama, oh, Mama |
|
And who's the one who gave her shoulder |
|
When you told her your first love was over |
|
She'd met someone older, Mama, Mama |
|
It was Mama, my Mama |
|
Mama, oh Mama |
|
Who's the one who taught you obligation |
|
Then dedication result graduation? |
|
Mama, Mama |
|
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known |
|
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone? |
|
Mama, Mama |
|
And who's the one who held a tear inside |
|
When you introduced your future bride? |
|
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry |
|
As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile |
|
Mama, oh, Mama, Mama, my Mama |
|
It was Mama |
