I've Just Told Mama Goodbye [Health & Happiness Show Seven, October 1949] Songtext
von Hank Williams

Friends, is himn time in the moment
Health and happiness assured
Today, we′re not going to do exactly a himn
Here's a song I′d like to do about mama
No, leave mama songs always my good
He's an awful sad, when I recorded this, I just told mama goodbye


Each year on Mother's Day
The rose I wore was red
But today I′m saying my first prayer
Mama′s lying on her dyin' bed

I′ve just told mama goodbye
Mother's Day has turned to night
Like the flowers in May
She withered away
And my red rose is turnin′ white

Her time has come to go
And there's nothin′ I can do
Only hold her hand and say goodbye
Mama's day with her children is through


There it is friends, I just told moma goodbye
