Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: My Special Prayer Request
Lyrics for Album: You Gotta Have a Licence (RCA Victor) [1970]



(Dorothy Jo Hope)



A little girl stood up in church in a worn and faded dress

She made her way up to the front to make a special prayer request

She said pray for God to help my mama cause she can't help herself

Preacher pray for mama that's my special prayer request.



Mama started drinking when daddy left our home

She just gave up didn't seem to care and everything went wrong

Our friends have all stopped coming by and we are so alone

Pray to God we'll heal her broken heart and make my mama strong.



She used to be so pretty and wear such pretty clothes

She took us to church on Sunday and she loved us so

Mama was so happy then she always seemed so gay

But everything changed for mama when my daddy went away.



There's God up in heaven who deals and answers prayers

I'd like to ask all you good people while you gather here

Pray for God to help my mama cause she can't help herself

Preacher pray for mama that's my special prayer request.



Preacher pray for mama that's my special prayer request...
