Ruthie Foster - Mama Said lyrics

Woah mama said girl You better learn how to pray Oh you got a soul A soul to save Girl you've been looking For an education Child you better fall on your knees Before you fall in the wrong direction Ooh many a trials I have known Tryin' to give my children A happy home In times of trouble And tears from worry Woah I'm trying to keep my head held Teach my feet not to be in such a hurry Oh it was a cold February morn' This Texas baby girl was born I prayed for her soul To sing a righteous song And when my head grows cold Lord Keep her in a light that's strong Mama said girl You better learn how to pray Oh you got a soul A soul to save Child you been lookin' For an education (Ain't nothin' wrong with that now) Girl you better fall on your knees Before you fall in the wrong direction Girl you better fall on your knees Before you fall in the wrong direction
