Lyrics for Song: Mama's Hands
Lyrics for Album: In a Gospel Way [1973]



(Larry Kingston - Frank Dycus)



My daddy's hands held Ten's and Two's while mom's were holding me

And daddy's hands lost everything to a hand of Kings and Three's

And daddy's hands they shook so bad that he turned to wine

But mama's hands were strong and calm as they held on to mine.



Yes, mama's hands held on to mine to guide me day and night

And it took the steam of mama's hands to teach me wrong from right

When times were bad and money's slim she'd fold her hands in pray

Ands somehow she would make the food hold out another day.



Now mama's hands are cold today, they tremble as she prays

But her voice is strong as she thanks God for all the bygone days

She looks at me and then she smiles she knows I understand

That everything I am today I owe to mama's hands.



Everything I am today I owe to mama's hands...
