Mama's Prayer

I’ve never been afraid of hard work
Mama saw to that
No man around we did our best
We didn’t do half bad

But on her knees at night
She would pray
“Oh Lord, there must be a better way”

Be Daddy, cause there’s no Daddy here
Come be a Father, wipe away the tears
From my little girl, From my little girl

Well I remember the long hours
And the little pay
She kept goin’, I could tell
She was lookin’ for a better day.

But on her knees at night
She would pray
“Oh Lord, there must be a better way”

Be Daddy, cause there’s no Daddy here
Come be a Father, wipe away the tears x4

From my little girl, From my little girl
I’ve never been afraid of hard work
Mama saw to that
