Ive Just Told Mama Goodbye — текст песни (Hank Williams)

Ive just told mama goodbye

Recorded by hank williams, sr.

Words and music by curley kinsey and sunshine slim sweet



[d] each year on [a7] mothers [d] day

The rose I [g] wore was [d] red

But [g] today Im saying [d] my first prayer

Mamas lying on her [a7] dying [d] bed.



[d] Ive just told [a7] mama good-[d] bye

Mothers day has [g] turned to [d] night

Like the [g] flowers in may, she [d] withered away

And my red rose is [a7] turning [d] white.



This is the dreaded hour

We all must face someday

Yet theres consolation in my heart

She will bloom in the masters bouquet.



Her time has come to go

And theres nothing I can do

Only hold her hand and say goodbye

Mamas day with her children is through.



Ive just told mama goodbye

And knelt beside her bed

I heard her say, "ill meet you someday,

Where the white roses turn to red."
