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 (Guitar) 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
