歌词
The day her mother died my mama sat outside and cried
How could she have taken her own life?
At only 12 years old learned a lesson we all should know
You can't take a thing with you when you go
The thing my mama said the most
Son you better have a healthy fear of the Holy Ghost
She went back in the room
And all that she could think to do was
Clean her mothers brains off of the wall
Her heart in so much pain
She tried just to remove the stain
But some these deep colors they don't fade
The thing my mama said the most
Son you better have a healthy fear of the Holy Ghost
I got a feeling, deep down in my soul
Gotta tell her, gotta let her know
Well, they wanna mock me
They say all day long where is your God?
I gotta know deep down in my soul
I wanna tell ya gotta let ya know, Oh!
Well I gotta tell you, the thing my mama said the most
Son you better have a healthy fear of the Holy Ghost
As people gathered around, all she could hear was the sound
Of everybody trying to console
But no one would ever know what that little girl was shown
Or how that she would never be the same
Well only God would know, how to fix her broken soul
Gotta let her go. Let her go!
The thing my mama said the most
Son you better have a healthy fear of the Holy Ghost
The thing my mama said the most
Son you better have a healthy fear of the Holy Ghost
