Momma Lyrics by Oliver Penn

2024

On the east side of Texas
Raised by aunts and brothers
Lived a woman named Catherine
Who would soon be called mother
It was a baby boy
It was her pride and joy
They’d do all things together
Like two birds of a feather
She taught him right from wrong
And all her favorite songs
But wanting to be alone
He went away from home
Momma didn’t fight him no
Momma didn’t fight him no
Momma knew it was right and
Momma knew he could brighten the world so
The boy went away
And momma would pray
They’d talk on the phone everyday
He made mistakes at the start
Thought he was breaking her heart
But she forgave him
And loved him the same
And on that first flight down
All he could think was how
All momma could see was that baby boy
All momma could see was that baby boy
All momma could see was that baby boy
All momma could see was that baby boy
The boy went away
And momma would pray
They’d talk on the phone everyday
Well I ain’t grown up
No I ain’t sewn up
And I need some love
Like every child does
Momma gonna love me yessir
Momma gonna love me yessir
Even though I’m a sinner
That saint’s gonna give me what I don’t deserve
The boy went away
And momma would pray
They’d talk on the phone everyday
The boy went away
And momma would pray
They’d talk on the phone everyday
The boy went away
And momma would pray
They’d talk on the phone everyday
