Oh, mama
Why did God take my daddy?
Cause I'd been good
Just like He said to be
I heard daddy pray
"Dear Lord, don't take me from them"
Oh, mama
Why did God take him from me?
Come here, son
You've asked mama something
That's even hard for me to understand
But there's one thing I do know
Daddy wouldn't wanna see those tears
In the eyes of this big man
So stop crying now
And listen real careful
To every word mama has to say
You see, son
God picks the sweetest
Most beautiful flowers that grow
And He makes them the brightest
Shiniest stars that glow
Now daddy talk with the Lord every day
And daddy and God'll be real close
So let's just say it seems
That God takes the ones he loves the most
Oh, mama
Why did God take my daddy
Son, you haven't heard a word
That mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers
And mama tuck you in bed
And we mustn't questioned God
Cause He already has everything planned
And honey
Daddy can't ever come back to us
But we can go to him
Oh, mama
Why did God take him from me?
