Standard (EADGBE)
It rained all the way to cincin ati
with our matresses on top of the car
Us kids we're eating crackers and bologna
Papa kept on driving, never stopped once at a bar
Then mama started talking about Jesus
and how our lives we're gonna be
while papa bought a used tire in Columbus
Mama rocked the baby, 'til all her tears were gone
(Chorus)
She said your papa is a good man, and don't you kids forget it
Whiskey's trying to ruin him but I know the L-ord won'- t let it.
Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheep
Rock Of Ages Ro - ck O-f Ages left for Me
(Talk to G chord)
I remember when papa finally did give up drinking. I think mama was the only one on
that really believed he could.
I remember a lot of times we packed up everything we owned and started out for some new
And through it all mama's faith was the one thing strong enough to finally do some good.
(Chorus) end.
