An old farm house, a country road
Chickens cluckin', roosters crowin'
We were poor and didn't know it
That's what I recall
Evening came and kinfolk gathered
Guitars strummed and washtubs clattered
They're out of tune but it don't matter when I hear momma sing
They'd sing all night 'til the break of day
Phil, Aunt Rosie, Uncle Ray
All the while the children play
That's what I recall
Sisters sing in harmony
Banjo rings on daddy's knee
Precious memories, how they linger when I hear momma sing
Cowboy Sweetheart, Old Slouch Hat
Cheatin' Heart, they all come back
Those faded pictures in my mind
Of another time, another place
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Precious memories can be found
Biscuits, cornbread all around, when I hear momma sing
Loved ones gone but not forgotten
I see their faces, hear 'em callin'
We were rich and didn't know it
That's what I'd hear 'em say
It hasn't been so very long
Since we sang those family songs
Oh but they've been with me all along when I hear momma sing
Cowboy Sweetheart, Old Slouch Hat
Cheatin' Heart, they all come back
Those faded pictures in my mind
Of another time, another place
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Precious memories can be found
Biscuits, cornbread all around, when I hear momma sing
Oh this music is my legacy
Can I pass it on
Just when I think it's all dead and gone
I hear my children sing
Cowboy Sweetheart, Old Slouch Hat
Cheatin' Heart, they all come back
Those faded pictures in my mind
Of another time, another place
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Precious memories can be found
Biscuits, cornbread all around, when I hear momma sing
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my sould
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
When I hear momma sing
Cowboy Sweetheart, Old Slouch Hat
Cheatin' Heart, they all come back
Those faded pictures in my mind
Of another time, another place
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Precious memories can be found
Biscuits, cornbread all around, when I hear momma sing
Biscuits, cornbread all around, when I hear momma sing
Oh when I hear momma sing
When I hear momma sing
