Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics for Song: Mama (Afraid to say goodbye)
 Lyrics for Album: Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991 [1991]
 
 
 
 26746>Lynyrd Skynyrd - Mama (Afraid to say goodbye)
 
 
 
 She'd wake us up early every mornin'
 
 She'd help us say our prayers every night
 
 She was always there to help us through the hard times
 
 We could count on her to make everything alright
 
 
 
 I remember swingin' on the front porch
 
 Papa said there's somethin' I need to say tonight
 
 Mama's been sick for a long time
 
 Let's pray to God she can make it through the night
 
 
 
 (chorus)
 
 Mama don't wanna say goodbye
 
 She said wipe those tears from your eyes
 
 Mama I don't wanna say goodbye
 
 It was written in the Heavens and the skies above
 
 Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
 
 I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try
 
 Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye
 
 
 
 Now kids I've been hangin' on a long time
 
 I hate to leave this world before your grown
 
 Remember everything that I've taught you
 
 Remember all the good times when I'm gone
 
 
 
 (repeat chorus)
 
 
 
 She whispered in my ear before she passed away
 
 Son it's time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say
 
 Jesus walked on water I know it's true
 
 When it comes time he'll call you home
 
 I hope your ready too
 
 
 
 (repeat chorus)
