What a Memory

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
