Lyrics
Her Memory's Still Alive
Mama, I've been thinkin' 'bout you lately.
Wonderin' how you're doin' in Alabam.
You know I'd really like to come and see you,
but please forgive me I don't think I can.
Mama you should see your little Grandson.
Although he's not so little anymore.
I still cry when he asks, "Where's Mama?"
Oh God I wish that things were like before.
Chorus:
Cause her memory's still alive in Alabama.
Though it's been a year since God took her away.
I just don't think that I can bring myself to come back home.
As long as hurtin' memories remain...
in Alabama
Well Mama guess I really ought to go now.
Please tell everyone that I said Hi.
Maybe you and Dad can come for Christmas
or in the Spring if you can find the time.
Chorus:
Cause her memory's still alive in Alabama.
Though it's been a year since God took her away.
I just don't think that I can bring myself to come back home.
As long as hurtin' memories remain...
in Alabama
