Tell Your Mama

If you've never heard a churchbell ring

Then go to the place where the choir sings

And if you've never heard the bible read

Then go to the place where god's word is said

And tell your mama you're following her ways

And you're going to the place where the preacher prays

He prays for you like your mama begged him to

If you've never seen a man baptized

Then go to the place where true love lies

And if you've never seen a good deed done

Then look at the one they called god's son

And tell your mama you're following her ways

And you're going to the place where the preacher prays

He prays for you like your mama begged him to

They're trying to make me lose my mind

Forget what my mama told me

But I will go to that good old church

And the face of the lord I will see

Please tell my mama I'm following her ways

And I'm going to the place where the preacher prays

Tell my mama I'm following her ways

And I'm going to the place where the preacher prays

And I'll be praying for you like the good lord told me to
