Mama-

Mama been gone 48 years now
Yeah! I can still hear her whispering In my ear now
Son you need to put on your jacket, gloves, boots and scarf
Because it's snowing and cold outside

Mama went on a rollercoaster ride with me
Up an down winding in and out we did climb twist and turns
We laugh and cried while soaring through the skies

Mama she was there when I fell and skin my knee
She pulled out the stinger when I got stung by a bee
She was married to my dad, Joseph Lee
