G     F         C     G    Bb    C         F     G
Momma loved us, every one. Every daughter, every son.

G          F        C     G   Bb             C       F        G
She gave herself so happily. That's just the way she was, you see.

G            F          C      G          Bb       C      F      G
From dawn to dark she'd find a chore. And work it 'til it was no more.

G         F     C       G     Bb     C        F     G
And every day until she died. In the evening, momma cried.

C                      Bb
Momma cried, there was mourning in the evening.

    C                       F               G
And momma cried, 'cause her little girl was gone.

G           F       C        G             Bb        C         F        G
Her little girl was snatched away. She was there and then just gone one day.

G         F         C         G        Bb     C      F        G               
And momma blamed herself, I'd say. But all of us had debts to pay.

C                      Bb
Momma cried, there was mourning in the evening.

G        F       C         G           Bb       C         F       G
I did my best to cheer her pride. That day that something broke inside.

G           F        C     G      Bb     C        F     G
I swore I'd find her and I tried. In the evening, momma cried.

C                      Bb
