Mama N THEM YAH

Mama N them gray hair is a crown of glory, yes
Mama N them gained by living a godly life;
Mama N them mo’ patient than powerful;
Mama N them been here before life;
Mama N them been married be 4 I cried;
N them there alleys, N back of the barns;
In the front yard, down in the basement;
In the juke-joints we may throw them there dice;
Gamble at our life’s, but when we fall,
As we fall the Lord our God determines it all;
