Last night I dreamed about my mother
In the house where we were raised
She was singing in the kitchen
You know my mama sure could sing
She taught me how to play the guitar
And to sing in harmony
She knew the gospel hymns by memory
Lord knows our mama sure could sing
When the father comes to call me
I know she'll be waiting there
With her loving arms wide open
We'll forget our earthly kiss
We'll join a holy choir up yonder
In the presence of the King
It will all sound that much sweeter
'Cause our mama sure can sing
Oh, when the father comes to call me
I know she'll be waiting there
With her loving arms wide open
We'll forget our earthly kiss
We'll join a holy choir up yonder
In the presence of the King
It will all sound that much sweeter
'Cause our mama sure can sing
Lord knows our mama sure could sing
