There's a voice now missing in our little country choir
Rock of ages will never sound the same
God heard her sing, and Heaven was not complete
Now Mama's teaching angels how to sing

Mama's teaching angels how to sing
Heaven's horns aside when Mama sings

David lays down his harp, and Heaven bells won't ring
When Mama's teaching angels how to sing

The old home, it's now empty
It's lonesome since she's gone
And it's hard to know, she won't return again

But I'll meet her in that morning
On Heaven's golden hills
Where Mama's teaching angels how to sing

Mama's teaching angels how to sing
Heaven's halls are silent when Mama sings
David lays down his harp, and Heavens bells won't ring
When Mama's teaching angels how to sing
