What A Memory
On the day momma died she called daddy to her side
And said Ill be goin soon, I know its gonna hurt you both
But promise me before I go youll do what I ask of you
In a big red folgers can hid behind the pots and pans
Youll find some money that Ive saved
And in the back of my dresser drawer
I put away a little more for a rainy day
Go to town and buy that new guitar
Cause hes been workin awful hard
To get his own, to write his songs
(chorus)
Oh what a memory, oh what a memory
And even in her final moments momma thought of me
What a memory
She was only thirty-five, I was fifteen askin why
The lord took her away, he mustve known we needed her
She was an angel here on earth, I still miss her everyday
With all her friends and half the town
And her family gathered round
I bet she never felt so loved
When everybodys heads were bowed
I did my best to make her proud, as I stood up
And I sang rock of ages clear from me
As I played it on that new six string
I couldnt help but cry, as we said goodbye
(repeat chorus)
Even in her final moments
Momma thought of me
What a memory
What a memory
Not sure about the words in the last verse after rock of ages
Please let me know if anyone knows what they are!
