Lonesome River Band
Mama
gave me to Jesus when I was a boy
But
I had some wild seeds to sow
When
almost everyone gave up on me
Mama
just wouldn’t let go
<CHORUS>
F C
Thank God for a Mama who knew how to
pray
G
That Jesus would keep me from harm
F
C F
I went on my own when I went astray
C G
Am F
But she prayed me back into God’s arms
C G C
Oh, she prayed me back into God’s arms
C F C
Now
I have a message to send over yonder
Jesus,
please let Mama know
F C F
I’m
not where I headed, but I’m on my way
C G C
Cause
she showed me the right way to go
<CHORUS>
