Porter Wagoner Mama's Bible Lyrics


(Mama's Bible pages trimmed with gold mama's Bible guiding our soul)
Mama died years ago left us kids so alone
But before she left she told me son you've got to carry on

You're the oldest boy Bill so teach your brothers right
Then she handed me her Bible said follow by its light
(Mama's Bible pages trimmed with gold Mama's Bible guiding our soul)

The boys have all grown up now the baby just left home
And I can rest with ease now for I know they're not alone
They've got the many blessings that I read every day
From the pages of mama's Bible to guide them on their way
(Mama's Bible pages trimmed with gold Mama's Bible guiding our soul)

Song lyrics

The estate is being settled, there was only one thing left
My mama's family bible was laying on the chest
All the others they didn't want it and that was plain to see
So I took mama's bible home with me.

One sister got the dishes and one the silver ware
And my brother took the radio and her old rocking chair
One by one all the pieces of her home was packed and hauled
But they left me the best part of it all.

Mama's family bible, oh, what a book
It inspired me every time I looked
At all the scriptures that she marked and loved
Mama's family bible is the treasure I'm proud of.

(Spoken)
Now all the dishes are broken, yes, and someone sold the silver ware
And the old radio was sittin' in some junkstore in the square
One by one all the pieces of moma's life had all disappeared
But mama's family bible is still here.

(Sang)
Mama's family bible, oh, what a book
It inspired me every time I looked
At all the scriptures that she marked and loved
Mama's family bible is the treasure that I'm proud of.

Mama's family bible, oh, what a book...

Thank you but the words are different than the one Mel McDaniel wrote. I may just have to try and listen to his song and figure out what he is saying. Sometimes that is really hard because you think they are saying one thing and it is something else. Well at least I am that way. lol
Thank you for your help

Mama's Bible

Verse: 1
I use to be afraid of dying when I'd think about having to go,
now I know I'm gonna live forever mama's bible tells me so,
it said that just believing is the key to it all,
and that I'm forgiven every time I fall.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, mama's bible tells me so.

Verse: 2
When it rains I know he's crying for the love of all mankind,
and he hurts inside just like us when he's left behind,
but I know he is my shepherd and he'll never walk away,
because he gave us Jesus for a friend on judgment day.

Verse: 3
All I'd loved are cared for had either changed or gone,
I reached for mama's bible for strength to carry on,
like my heart it gathered dust like it's pages I was worn,
and as to life for both of us oh Gabriel blow your horn.

Ending:
And I'll trust in mama's bible till it's time for me to go,
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

I pray it's the one you wanted and God Bless!
