I Dreamed About Mama Last Night(Single Version) - Hank Williams

作词：Fred Rose

作曲：Fred Rose

I've just been to heaven

with someone so true

I dreamed about mama last night

She read me the bible like

she used to do I dreamed

about mama last

Night

She never close her eyes

to sleep till we were all in bed

And on party nights

when we come home

she often sat and read

We little thought about it

then for we were young and gay

Just how much mama worried

when we children were away

We only knew she

never slept when we were out at night

That she waited just to

know that we'd all come home alright

Why sometimes

when we'd stay away

till one or two or three

It seemed to us that mama

heard the turning of the key

For always when we'd step

aside she'd call and we'd reply

But we were all too young back

then to understand the reason why

Until the last one had returned

she'd always keep a light

For mama couldn't sleep

until she kissed us all goodnight

She had to know that

we were safe before she went to rest

She seemed to fear that the world

might harm the ones that she loved the

Best

And once she told me

when you're grown

to women and to men

Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night

through I may be different then

And so it seemed that night

and day we knew a mother's care

That always when we got back home

we'd find her waiting there

Then came the night that

we were called together round her bed

The children're all with you now

the kindly doctor said

And in her eyes the gleam again

that old time tender light

That told that she's just

been waiting to know

that we were alright

She smiled that old familiar smile

and prayed to god to keep

Her children safe from harm

throughout the years

tend then she went to sleep

My dream is a treasure that

I'll always keep I dreamed about

mama last night
