Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things, who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping, Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven or Bethlehem
[Verse 2]
Some pray that one day Christ will come a-callin'
They light a candle and hope that it glows
And some just lie there cryin' for Him to come and find them
But when He comes they don't know how to go
[Verse 3]
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things, who made me so bad
Mama, the weeping, Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven or Bethlehem
