I'm singin' it, mama This one's for you Mama, this one was written for you, mom For everything ya done I'm not much at cards and letters Calling on the phone Livin' where I do, it ain't so easy For Jerry Lee to get to back home I'm a singin' it, mama Oh, this one's for you Mama (mama) I put my feelings in this song So you could sing a long Ya always like the sound of banjos A-rinky-tinking of an old piano Mama (mama) this one's for you Oh, I'm singing for you, mama This one's for you Hey, mama (mama) My mother's love in every single phrase And every note they I play You've got a weakness for harmony A song that's got a pretty melody So mama (mama) this one's for you Hey, mama! This one's for you Spoken: I love you, mama.
