When Mama Sang

	  		
A           D            A 
Mama didn't have special training 
                                     E 
She couldn't read the music just the words 
    A                   D              A 
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday morning 
                             E               A 
She had the sweetest voice I think I've ever heard 

    A                 D               A 
She loved to sing the songs about her Saviour 
                                       E 
"There Is A Fountain" was her favorite one 
         A               D                  A 
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners 
               E               A 
By the time my mama's song was done 

     A             D                 A 
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen 
                                            E 
You could see the love light shinin' in her face 
     A             D                 A 
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen 
                          E             A 
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place 


            A                  D                                A 
You know my daddy wanted me to sang somethin' the day that mama left us 
                                                              E 
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends 
                A                        D         A 
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin' 
                       E               A 
When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn 


     A             D                 A 
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen 
                                            E 
You could see the love light shinin' in her face 
     A             D                 A 
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen 
                          E             A 
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place 

     A             D                       A 
When mama sang the angels stopped.......to listen
