1
On Sunday after church there'd always be a picnic
2
There'd be kinfolks callin' until dawn
3
Me I'd play the guitar and my Uncle Merle would sing
4
And grandpa he'd play that fiddle all night long
5
Now the women folk they would work out in the kitchen
6
You could smell that food for miles and miles around
7
Paw he was prayin' my brother Jack would bring him down some moonshine
8
Just so's that he could warsh those viddle down
9
As soon as all the kids got tired of playin' horseshoes
10
Mama she'd call me over to her side
11
You know she'd say I'd like to take some pictures
12
You could see her face light up with pride
13
And then she'd bring out that worn out family album
14
Its faded pictures some with corners torn
15
She'd laugh and poin and tell me funny stories
16
And look she'd say why that's the day that you were born
17
And I'd sit and reminisce each picture with her
18
And I'd listen to her laughter and her sighs
19
But underneath I knew how much I'd hurt her
20
For I'd put teardrops in my mama's eyes
21
In my mama's eyes I've never done a wrong thing
22
I was still a baby in my mama's eyes
23
That old family album she'll keep on her night stand
24
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
25
Through all those years in prison she stuck by me
26
And she came to visit anytime she could
27
Well I remember at my trial when she testified she loved me
28
And she told the judge I'd always been so good
29
Then later through the fame she watched me blossom
30
From just a local country singer to a great big star
31
She listened to all my records for the hidden meanings
32
And she came to hear me sing in all those dim lit bars
33
And she read all the things they wrote about me
34
But she knew deep in her heart that it was lies
35
No she don't hide her head in shame when someone says my name
36
You'll find no teardrops in my mama's eyes
37
In my mama's eyes...
38
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
