Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done
Mama
Oh, Mama

And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
'Cause he was too big for you to try
Mama
My Mama

And who's the one you didn't need to please
To give her time to the little me
It was Mama
Oh, Mama

And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over, she'd met someone older
Mama
Mama

It was Mama
Oh, Mama

Mama
Oh, Mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation
And dedication result in graduation
Mama
Oh, Mama

And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone
Mama
Mama

Who's the one who held the tears inside
When you introduced your future bride
And who's the one who didn't cry
As you walked down the aisle, the tears, she saw her smile
Mama
Mama

My Mama
It was Mama
Oh, Mama
It was Mama.....
