Gospel of Mrs Sadie by Michael Gray — Lyrics
Mama’s gone a walkin’ this morning.
Ain’t no time around to hold her down.
And we all come together to wish her well;
So joy Missis Sadie! For you, to that sweet home are bound.
Well, my Mama used to stand in the fields of wheat;
Singing her praises in the noontime heat.
She’d lift up her hands with the tresses of gold,
And the glory of the Holy Father would unfold.
Oh Mama’s had a good life! Oh yes, the angels sing.
