When Mama Sang

A           D            A
Mama didn't have special training
                                     E
She couldn't read the music just the words
    A                   D              A
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday morning
                             E               A
She had the sweetest voice I think I've ever heard

    A                 D               A
She loved to sing the songs about her Saviour
                                       E
"There Is A Fountain" was her favorite one
         A               D                  A
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners
               E               A
By the time my mama's song was done

     A             D                 A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
                                            E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
     A             D                 A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
                          E             A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place

[Chorus]
            A                  D                                A
You know my daddy wanted me to sang somethin' the day that mama left us
                                                              E
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends
                A                        D         A
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin'
                       E               A
When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn

     A             D                 A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
                                            E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
     A             D                 A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
                          E             A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place

     A             D                       A
When mama sang the angels stopped.......to listen
