Текст песни Mama Sang a Song (Walter Brennan) с переводом

I get to thinking lots of times

About back when I was a lad

Of the old home-place where I growed up;

Of the days both good and bad

My overalls was hand-me-downs

Y shoes was full of holes

And I used to walk four miles to school every day

Through the rain and the sleet and the cold

I’ve seen the nights when my daddy would cry

For the things that his family would need

But all he ever got was a bad-lands farm

And seven hungry mouths to feed

And yet, and yet out home-fire never flickered once

'Cause when all these things went wrong

Mama took the hymn-book down

And mama sang a song

(What a friend we have in Jesus.)

I been rocked to sleep many a night

To the tune of «What A Friend»

TO THE TUNE OF «WHAT A FRIEND»; come morning

«Rock of Ages» would waken me gentle once again

Then dad, he’d reach up and take the bible down

And read it, read it loud and long

I always thought that maybe our our home was blessed

When daddy would say, «Mamma, sing a song.»

Sister left home first, I guess

Then Bob and then Tommy and then Dan

Then dad’s hair was turnin' white

'N I had to be mama’s little man

But it seemed that as daddy’s back growed weak

Mother’s faith just growed strong

And them were the greatest days of all

When mama samg a song

(Rock of ages, cleft for me.)

(Let me hide myself in thee.)…

OOH, OOH, OOH. (Through Recitation)

I guess the house is still standing;

I don’t get back much no more

No voice is left to fill them halls

'N no steps to grace the floor

You see, my mama sings in heaven now

Around God’s golden throne

But I’ll always believe this world

Is a better place because, one time

My mama sang a song
