HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM.MY LOVE FOR YOU IS SO ENDLESS...

MAMA, I'LL SING ONE SONG FOR YOU


I've sung my songs on dusty roads
And dirty city sidewalks,
To sweatin' hard-eyed brakemen,
In the rail yards I rolled through.
I've sung in blue wallpapered rooms
To girls I played at lovin'.
Now Mama... I'll sing one song for you.


Mama, let me tell you that I've never lost the mem'ry
Of the tender things you told me,
And the gentle things you'd do.
And though I've grown away
And other arms reach out to hold me,
Mama... I'll sing one song for you.
......

Tomorrow I'll be movin' out
On them dusty country backroads.
Some sweatin' hard-eyed brakeman
May hear a tune once or two.
And the girl in the blue wallpapered room,
She'll ask where I been hidin'
And I'll tell 'em I stopped and sang one song for you.
