Lyrics
WHAT MY MAMA
GAVE ME(4:30)
What my mama gave me
Will lift your spirit to the sky
What my mama gave me
Will lift your spirit to the sky
Credentials like that
You can't beg, borrow, steal or buy
She could swing a mood
Low as low, and high as high
She could swing a mood
West Virginia low, West Virginia high
She rode that roller coaster
?Til the day she died
She showed me how to pray
How to love, laugh, and how to cry
She showed me how to pray
How to love, laugh, how to cry
She told me that she loved me
Just before we said goodbye
What my mama gave me
