Lyrics

MAMA?S WILL
Music & Lyrics © 2003 Kurt Hagan & Rand Bishop
VERSE 1
The lawyer said there wasn?t much
Left behind to divvy up
Just a cameo and some old chipped, china cups

She lived alone right till the end
Wouldn?t hear no talk of movin? in
But we?d have Sunday dinner just like way back when

She?d talk about the food stamp days in Birmingham
A husband lost in Viet Nam
The hundred times she nursed us back to health

CHORUS
Mama?s will
Mama?s will
The courage in her heart is with me still
What she left me always gets me up life?s hill
If any strength can keep me going
Mama?s will

VERSE 2
The lawyer said ?No, There?s no cost?
?I?m sorry for your family?s loss?
?Your Mama once helped mine, I never have forgot?

My sister wore the cameo
We packed the cups and drove off slowly
Past the stone church where we used to go

Rememberin? the gifts that Santa somehow brought
And how she laid the law down when we fought
The fire when we lost everything we had but?.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Sometimes in the morning while I watch the sun come up
I take a sip of coffee from her old chipped china cup
Oh, I got more than enough from?.
