As recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys (From the 2024 Album MAMA'S BOYS) [Intro] A D [Verse 1]
D                                                           G
Not so very long ago when I was young, and time was mine to spend

    A                                                            D    A
I'd do what little boys would do all day until the sun sank low again

     D                                                          G
When supper time was over I'd climb the stairs and try to fall asleep

    A                                                              D
I'd close my eyes, say my prayers, and Mama always sang a song for me
[Chorus]
           G             D
She'd sing Jesus hold my hand

A                           D
Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

         G              D
She sang Lord I saw the light

A                                              D  A   D
Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
[Verse 2]
D                                                           G
Years went by like summertime, one day I grew up and moved away

 A                                                     D     A
Against my better judgment I was easily and often led astray

       D                                                               G
But it seemed no matter where I went, whatever kind of trouble I would find

A                                                                 D
Mama's voice would echo through the cold and lonely corners of my mind
[Chorus]
           G             D
She'd sing Jesus hold my hand

A                           D
Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

         G              D
She sang Lord I saw the light

A                                              D  A   D
Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
[Verse 3]
D                                                                       G
I don't try to count the miles or moments that have forced themselves between

      A                                                                   D    A
And I can't take back the things I've done or be a better man than I have been

    D                                                      G
But some nights I'd do anything to hear my mama sing once again

     A
So I close my eyes, say my prayers

                            D
In the stillness I remember when
[Out-Chorus]
           G             D
She'd sing Jesus hold my hand

A                           D
Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

         G              D
She sang Lord I saw the light

A                                              D
Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me

           G             D
She'd sing Jesus hold my hand

A                           D
Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

         G              D
She sang Lord I saw the light

A                                              D
Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me

A                                              D
Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
