was standing in the hall when they called the doctor in
Almost scared me half to death
When they said "It's a boy again"
I walked in just in time to see them lay him by her side
And when she looked into my newborn brother's eyes
Mama cried
When I was just a teenage boy a preacher man stopped by
He asked me if I knew the Lord
Said "If you don't, then tell me why"
I gave my heart to God that day, and then I was baptized
And when I stood up at church to testify
Oh, Mama cried
When Mama cried
You could feel the love she felt down deep inside
Through the good times and the bad times of my life
Oh you could see the love she had in her eyes
When Mama cried
T.H.S. graduation day in 1985
Standing in the high school gym decorated blue and white
And when they called my name out loud
You'd thought someone had died
'Cause when we sang the Alma Mater one last time
Oh Mama cried
Dressed up in our Sunday best, the family gathered 'round
Me and brother standing there with our heads bowed down
Flowers on the alter and a lady dressed in white
And when the preacher said "Son you can kiss your bride"
Sweet Mama cried
When Mama cried
You could feel the love she felt down deep inside
Through the good times and the bad times of my life
Oh you could see the love she had in her eyes
When Mama cried
When Mama cried
