His daddy never went to church on Sunday.
He said that's just one thing that I won't do.
[Db] His mama never gave up, she [Ab] said, one day.
[Bb] I know he'll sit [Bbm] beside me [Eb] and you.
[Ab] I can [Db] still hear mama [Ab] softly praying.
Tears fell on her folded hands.
[Db] Easter Sunday morning, [Ab] daddy walked in.
[Bbm] That's when he began to [Eb] understand.
That when mama [Fm] prayed, [Ab] good things happened.
[Eb]
When mama [Fm] prayed, [Eb] lives were changed.
But not [Fm] much more than five [Eb] foot tall, [Ab] mountains big and small, [Bbm] crumbled all [Eb] away when mama [Fm] prayed.
[Db]
[Fm] [Ab] Twenty-five and wild, I hit the bottle, didn't need anything that I would please.
I [Db] was running down last highway at [Ab] full throttle, [Bbm] while mama [Eb] burned a candle on her knees.
[Ab] Then one night I came home half sober, saw my mama kneeling in the den.
[Eb] As I listened, she and Jesus [Ab] talking over, [Bbm] and I knew my [Db] restless days were about [Eb] to end.
When mama [Fm] prayed, [Ab] good things happened.
[Eb] When mama [Fm] [Db] prayed, lives [Eb] were changed.
But [Fm] not much more than five [Eb] foot tall, [Ab] mountains big and small, [Bb] crumbled all [Eb] away when mama [Ab] prayed.
[Cm] It's not like every one of them [Db] got an answer, [Ab] but the times they did seem to me [Eb] were rare.
[Cm] You almost felt sorry [Db] for the devil, [Bb] cause heaven [Ab] knows he didn't [Eb] have a prayer when mama [Fm] prayed.
