Her Memory's Still Alive
Mama I've been thinkin' 'bout you lately.
Wonderin' how you're doing in Alabam.
You know I'd really like to come and see you,
But please forgive me I don't think I can.
Cause her memory's still alive in Alabama
though it's been a year since God took her away.
I just don't think that I can bring myself to come back home,
as long as hurtin' memories remain
in Alabama.
Mama you should see your little grandson.
Though he's not so little anymore.
I still cry when he asks, "Where's Mama?"
Oh God I wish that things were like before.
Cause her memory's still alive in Alabama
though it's been a year since God took her away.
I just don't think that I can bring myself to come back home,
as long as hurtin' memories remain
in Alabama.
Well Mama guess I really ought to go now.
Please tell everyone that I said hi.
Maybe you and Dad can come for Christmas,
or in the Spring if you can find the time.
Cause her memory's still alive in Alabama
though it's been a year since God took her away.
I just don't think that I can bring myself to come back home,
as long as hurtin' memories remain
in Alabama.
