Ray Stevens - A Mama And A Papa Lyrics
Where would I be, what would I be
If I hadn't had the good book taught to me
I don't know, but I can guess
I'm a lot better off because I've been blessed now
Thank God I had a mama, a mama and a papa
Who took enough time to care about me now
Teach me how to work, teach me how to pray
Not to treat my brother just any way
Not long ago I wanted to see
Why other people couldn't be as happy as me
It didn't take long for me to find out
There's people in the world that's living without
Hearts full of hate, frown on their face
We gotta snap out of it, got to get rid of it
We got to put a little more love in its place
With the help of a mama, a mama and a papa
Everybody needs a mama, a mama and a papa
Who'll take enough time to care about us now
Teach us how to work, teach us how to pray
Not to treat our brother just any way
Teach us how to work, teach us how to pray
Not to treat our brother just any way
Thank God I had a mama, a mama and a papa
Everybody needs a mama, a mama and a papa
Who'll take enough time to care about us now
Teach us how to work, teach us how to pray
Not to treat our brother just any way
Teach us how to work, teach us how to pray
Not to treat our brother just any way

I had literally never heard this song until.. well you brought it to our attention.
Thanks for sharing.
Definitely easy on the ears. Poignant.
The entire 'Turn Your Radio On' album is great!! Love all the songs...a couple in particular being "Glory Special" and "Why Don't You Lead Me To That Rock".
Time is quite the bitch. I'm sorry, but I'm sure you had a VERY good time.
Love this!!
