I remember Mama in a happy way

My brothers and sisters,

they're living far apart

Although my Mama's gone,

she's right here in our hearts

We're all gonna pull together

and stay in the holy place

I remember Mama in a happy way

I remember Mama in a happy way

you know I remember my mama

When I was about twelve years old

I was going to church, playing church

How many of you use to play church

(let me see ya hands)

Yeah some of you are still playing

and I remember

I went down Mount Calvary

that where I belong

and I'll jump and I'll shout

and come back home

but I was still disobedient

I would talk back

And one day

me and Ann here,

we decided we wanted to play church

let me tell what we did

we went out in the back

and started playing church

and my brother was the pastor

Me and Ann here

was the members of the church

and let me tell you something

It's hard to come in contact

with Jesus and still be the same

I don't care who you are,

you can be the chiefs of sinners

You will never be the same

and I been going down

to the chruch playing church

came home, still disobedient

didn't want to wash the dishes

didn't want to bring the clothes off the line

didn't want to do anything

and mama said "I'm sick of you
