#### HEAVEN WILL NEVER WELCOME A SWEETER MAMA

I

HER FAVORITE SPOT WAS SITTING BY THE WINDOW.
ROCKING IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR.
WITH HER APRON AND HER DRESS OF CALICO
LISTENING TO THE RAINDROPS. WATCHING THE FALLING SNOW.

II

TODAY I WENT AGAIN TO THE OLD HOME PLACE.
DOWN THE LANE WHERE I PLAYED WHEN JUST A LAD.
ALL THE GOOD TIMES POSSESSED MY MEMORY.
WHAT AN EMPTY FEELING NO ONE TO WELCOME ME.

III

I WALKED UP THE STEPS ALL WORN AND WEATHERED
THE PORCH WAS GREEN WITH MOSS AND FALLING DOWN.
THEN I SAW IT THAT WREATHE ON MAMA'S DOOR
OH IF I HAD BEEN THERE JUST ONE DAY BEFORE.

IV

IF ONLY I HAD SPENT MORE TIME WITH MAMA
SITTING AROUND THE OLD CABIN DOOR.
BUT SHE'S GONE NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
BUT ASK GOD FOR A MANSION MAMA IN HEAVEN NEXT DOOR TO YOU.

V

HER FAVORITE SPOT WAS SITTING BY THE WINDOW
ROCKING IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR
BUT SHE'S GONE NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
BUT ASK GOD FOR A MANSION MAMA IN HEAVEN NEXT DOOR TO YOU.

CHORUS

HEAVEN WILL NEVER WELCOME A SWEETER MAMA
AND EARTH WILL NEVER LOSE A GREATER SOUL.
