MAMA REMEMBER (Nancy Moore)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: MAMA REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID
THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD AND THE THINGS THAT WE DID
NOW DADDY AND MOST OF YOUR MEMORY'S GONE
BUT MAMA YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE ME TO LEAN ON
THAT WAS A NICE DOCTOR WHO SAW YOU TODAY
MAMA REMEMBER WHAT HE HAD TO SAY
THE TAXI'S HERE WAITING, NO YOU GET IN FIRST
DID YOU REMEMBER TO PICK UP YOUR PURSE

VERSE 2: I'M SURE GLAD THAT I COULD GO WITH YOU TODAY
I NEEDED SOME TIME OFF FROM WORK ANYWAY
REMEMBER BACK WHEN I PLAYED HOOKY FROM SCHOOL
YOU FOUND ME ASLEEP WITH YOUR BOOK AT THE POOL
THERE'S BETTY PARKER DO YOU SEE THE HAT
MAMA REMEMBER YOU HAD ONE LIKE THAT
YOU WORE IT THE FIRST DAY THAT YOU AND DAD MET
OH, MAMA I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD FORGET

VERSE 3: WE'LL STOP AT THE MARKET I'M GLAD YOU WROTE DOWN
THE THINGS THAT YOU WANTED TO BUY HERE IN TOWN
NOW HERE WE ARE HOME AND YOUR CAT'S AT THE DOOR
THE SAME ONE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ROUND HERE BEFORE
PLEASE MAMA, DON'T WORRY, I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU
I MIGHT EVEN BUY YOU AN ELEPHANT TOO
SEE, YOU CAN STILL SMILE, AND MAMA I'M SURE
WHAT YOU DON'T REMEMBER WON'T HURT ANYMORE
