_ _ He got here red and wrinkled, scared [G] and crying. _ _ _
_ Then [D] she took him up and held him to her [A] _ breast. _ _
_ And [D] he sure was glad [Am] to get [D] what Mama [G] offered. _ _ _
_ _ [D] Then he went to sleep [A] and put his fears [D] to [A] _ rest.
[D] _
It _ didn't seem to matter what [G] he needed. _ _ _
_ He [D] could always count on Mama to [A] supply.
[B] _ _ [A] _ _
_ And [D] regardless of [Am] the sleep [D] she might [G] be losing, _ _ _

_ There _ _ _ [G] _ ought to be [A] a hall of fame for [D] Mama, _ _ _
