[Intro] A E7 A [Verse 1]
     A                           D                A
Back home in Mississippi we were taught about the Lord

    A                                     E7
His ways were taught on mama's knee, good life was his reward

   A                               D
We worked from sun to sundown most each and every day

              A                                       E7               A
And when we'd get home hot and hungry and tired, mama   kept us all to pray
[Chorus]
               D
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child,

      G            D
don't ever let Him go.

         D
Put your life in His direction,

         A
you will reap just what you sow.

           D
Praise His name and praise His glory,

       G
it was for us that He died.

        D
He will lead us into heaven,

      A             D
if we   walk by His side."
[Iterlude] A E7 A [Verse 2]
    A                                 D            A
Now many times my mind goes back when I am feelin' low

       A                                    E7
To the good old days on mama's knee and the times we used to know.

        A                                    D
How she taught us from the good book when we might have gone astray

          A                              E7                 A
And she'd hold us in her lovin' arms and    teach us all to pray
[Chorus]
               D
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child,

      G            D
don't ever let Him go.

         D
Put your life in His direction,

         A
you will reap just what you sow.

           D
Praise His name and praise His glory,

       G
it was for us that He died.

        D
He will lead us into heaven,

      A             D
if we   walk by His side."
[Chorus]
               D
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child,

      G            D
don't ever let Him go.

         D
Put your life in His direction,

         A
you will reap just what you sow.

           D
Praise His name and praise His glory,

       G
it was for us that He died.

        D
He will lead us into heaven,

      A             D
if we   walk by His side.

        D
He will lead us into heaven,

      A             D
if we   walk by His side."
[Outro] A D
