What A Memory On the day mama died she called daddy to her side And said I'll be going soon I know it's gonna hurt you both but promise me before I go You'll do what I ask of you In a big red Folger's can hid behind the pots and pans You'll find some money that I've saved 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 he's been workin' awful hard To get his own to write his songs What a memory oh what a memory Even in her final moments mama thought of me what a memory She was only thirty-five I was fifteen asking why the Lord took her away He must have 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 everybody's heads were bowed I did my best to make her proud as I stood up And I sang Rock Of Ages cleft for me as I played it on that new six-string I couldn't help but cry as we said goodbye What a memory...
