Momma loved us, every one.Every daughter, very son.She gave herself so happily,That's just the way she was, you see. From dawn to dark she'd find a chore.And work it 'til it was no more.And every day until she died,In the evening, Momma cr ied.Momma cried;There was mourning in the evening.And Momma cried;'Cos her little girl was gone.Her little girl was snat ched away.She was there and then just gone one day.And Momma blamed herself, I'd say,But all of us had debts to pay.Momma cried;There was mourning in the evening.And Momma cried;'Cos her little girl was gone.I did my best to cheer her pride.Th at day that something broke inside.I swore I'd find her and I tried.In the evening, Momma cried.Momma cried;There was mour ning in the evening.And Momma cried;'Cos her little girl was gone.Momma cried;There was mourning in the evening.And Momma cried;'Cos her little girl was gone.
