Текст песни A Song to Mama (with The Carter Family) - Johnny Cash

Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me
She always got me out of bed early Sunday morning
And took me out to church where I could learn about Lord
Mama tried to tell me how my life was going to be
But I was young and wild, and it was hard for me to see
Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me
Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growing up
And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves
I realize now that you always knew just what you were talking about
And mama for all that hard work you did
And for the sacrifices you made for us
I just want to say, thanks a lot
Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older
We can see the load on your tired old shoulders
Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier
Mama, you mean a lot to me
Mama, you mean a lot to me
