Who's the one who tied you shoe
When you were young
And knew just when to come
And see what you had done
Mama, oh Mama
And who's the one who patched your eye
And told you not to cry
Cause he was to big, for you to try
Mama, Mama
And who'ss the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the little league
It was Mama, oh Mama
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her, your first love was over
She'd met someone older
Mama, Mama
Instrumental
It was mama, my mama
Instrumental
Mama, Oh Mama
Who's the one who taught you obligation
Then dedication results, graduation
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends
You've known a home away from home
Whem they were tired and all alone
Mama, Mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced, your future bride
And who's the one that didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle the tears
You saw her smile
Mama, Oh Mama, Mama, My Mama
It was mama
