Lyrics
What My Momma Said
By Martina Cline Copyright 2006
Intro: Uh Huh...(background) -What my Momma said,
Solo: "My child, just do what I say &
everything will be alright".
Solo-Verse 1: What my Momma taught me, things I keep
throughout my life,
If you keep the Lord's commands, you'll be able to sleep at night,
What you do can come back to haunt you,
Bring you peace or strife.
That's what my momma said.
Chorus:
And, she said....
Choir: Pray my child, pray,
Solo: The world's so corrupt, you can't give up,
Choir: Pray my child, pray,
Solo: Don't do wrong no matter what goes on.
Choir: Strength comes from within,
Solo: just keep your faith & you'll find a way,
You can climb that mountain,
No matter how high it goes,
If you pray.
(background)-What my Momma said,
Choir: Pray!
Verse 2 Those words they've kept me strong,
They've kept me goin' on
And my Momma, bless her soul,
She knows,
She knows.
Chorus: (background)-just remember, remember...
Choir: Pray my child, pray,
Solo: The world's so corrupt, you can't give up,
Choir: Pray my child, pray,
Solo: Don't do wrong no matter what goes on.
Choir: Strength comes from within,
Solo: just keep your faith & you'll find a way,
You can climb that mountain,
No matter how high it goes,
If you pray.

Choir: Pray my child, pray,
Solo: Don't do wrong no matter what goes on.
