Who's gonna love me when I'm old
Cook my supper an' sweep the floor
I'm a one of a kind a jealous soul
Spoiled rotten ready for more
You're the only one who's ever loved me true and kind
I cover my ears to the pain of you leavin' me behind
Singin' ol smokey songs an' laughin out loud
Playin' those games we use to play
There's always been nobody but me and you
There's always been somebody gone
You're the only one who's ever loved me true and kind
I cover my ears to the pain of you leavin' me behind
Who's gonna love me when I'm old
Rock my cradle an' hold me close
Jesus loves me this I know
Cause my mama told me so
Born into this world for a little while
One day I'm gonna lay down and leave you with a smile
You're gonna love me when I'm old
My mama told me so
My mama told me so
