I Hear Mama's Voice

I hear my mother’s voice
She talks to me everyday
I hear my mother's voice
She talks to me everyday
Although Mama’s dead and gone
She still has a lot to say

Children don't like to listen
Take advice, obey mama’s rules
Children don't like to listen
Take advice, obey mama’s rules
But mama always knew best
Mama didn’t raise no fool

Bobby iron that shirt
Sit down have a good meal
Son never be late for work
Never lie, never cheat, never steal
Treat people with respect
Follow the golden rule
Put your trust in God
When you’re down and out with the blues
I hear my mother’s voice
She talks to me every day

I hear my mother's voice
She talks to me everyday
I hear my mother's voice
She talks to me everyday
Mother’s dead and gone now
But she still has a lot to say
