Lyrics
Tell Your Mama
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
