I remember Mama in a happy way

We went to school with holes in our shoes

We didn't have much

But the Lord saw us through

Mama kept the family together

I remember Mama in a happy way

She packed our lunch in an old greasy bag

It might've seemed empty,

but it was more than others had

It had a lot of love way down deep inside

(yes it did)

and I remember Mama in a happy way

I remember Mama in a happy way

Now Mama is sleeping

in the bosom of Jesus Christ(yeah)

Somehow I know she's smiling,

she's smiling on us right now

One day I'll see her again,

how happy I will be (yeah yeah)

And I remember Mama in a happy way (yeah yeah)

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
