my mama loved me

my mama raised me

all by herself

she didn't get

a lotta help

she made mistakes

along the way

but here's one thing

i can truly say

my mama loved me

and she worked

and she slaved

from a little bitty baby

she made me what i am today

she didn't put up

with no back talk

i learned respect

before i could walk

she let me run

but not all night

i'm so glad

she raised me up right

my mama love me

ahhh.she worked and she slaved

from a little baby boy

she made me what i am today

now boys and girls

hear what i got to say

be good to your mama

each and every day

friends may come

friends may go

but you only got one mama

and i want you to know

my mama loved me

and she worked

and slaved

from a little baby

she made me who i am today
