Mama didn't h	ave special t	raining

She couldn't read the music just the w	ords

	A	D	A
But w	hen she'd stand to s	ing on Sunday m	orning

	E	A
She had the sweetest voice I	think I've ever	heard

She l	oved to sing the s	ongs about her S	aviour

	E
"There Is a Fountain" was her favorite o	ne

	A	D	A
And I	've seen tears roll d	own the cheeks of s	inners

By the time my m	ama's song was d	one

You know my daddy wanted me to sing somethin' the day that mama left us
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin'
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
Whe	n mama sang th	e angels stopped t	o listen

	E	A
Now in heaven's choir sh	e has a specia	l place
