Greatest Gospel Hits Shirley Caesar Lyrics - I Remember Mama
I remember Mama, And the love that she gave Kneeling by her bed side I can still hear Mama say,
"The people are depending on you, Shirley, Don't you let them down"
I remember Mama in a happy way
We went to school with holes in our shoes We didn't have much But the Lord saw us through Mama kept the family together
I remember Mama in a happy way
She packed our lunch in an old greasy bag It might've seemed empty, But it was more than others had It had a lot of love way down deep inside (yes it did) And I remember Mama in a happy way I remember Mama in a happy way
Now Mama is sleeping in the bosom of Jesus Christ(yeah) Somehow I know she's smiling, she's smiling on us right now One day I'll see her again, how happy I will be (yeah yeah) And I remember Mama in a happy way (yeah yeah) I remember Mama in a happy way
My brothers and sisters, they're living far apart Although my Mama's gone, she's right here in our hearts We're all gonna pull together and stay in the holy place I remember Mama in a happy way I remember Mama in a happy way
[Spoken] You know I remember my mama When I was about twelve years old I was going to church, playing church How many of you use to play church (let me see ya hands) Yeah some of you are still playing and I remember I went down mt calvary that where I belong And I'll jump and I'll shout and come back home But I was still disobedient I would talk back and one day Me and Ann here, we decided we wanted to play church Let me tell what we did We went out in the back and started playing church And my brother was the pastor Me and Ann here was the members of the church And let me tell you something It's hard to come in contact with Jesus and still be the same I don't care who you are, you can be the cheifs of sinners You will never be the same And I been going down to the chruch playing church Came home, still disobedient Didn't want to wash the dishes Didn't want to bring the clothes off the line Didn't want to do anything And mama said "I'm sick of you going down to that church playing with God" Me and Ann there went outside and we started playing church Sat down on the bottom step My brother was a preacher and we were the members of the church And he would put on some old glasses and would put them right here on his nose He said I want you to jump up and shout Jesus three times And I jumped up and shouted Jesus two times, but when I jumped up the third time Something got ahold of me I couldn't sit back down Ann ran in the house she said "Mama Shirley Ann is out there playing with Lord" Mama came to the door and she looked out there and saw me Shouting and dancing all over the backyard tears running down my face Mama looked out there and she said "She ain't playing this time"
Hallelujah!
I remember Mama in a happy way (I remember mama) I remember Mama in a happy way (I remember mama) I remember my mama I remember Mama in a happy way
