Standard (EADGBE)

It rained all the way to cincin ati

with our matresses on top of the car

Us kids we're eating crackers and bologna

Papa kept on driving, never stopped once at a bar

Then mama started talking about Jesus

and how our lives we're gonna be

while papa bought a used tire in Columbus

Mama rocked the baby, 'til all her tears were gone

(Chorus)

She said your papa is a good man, and don't you kids forget it

Whiskey's trying to ruin him but I know the L-ord won'- t let it.

Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheep

Rock Of Ages Ro - ck O-f Ages left for Me

(Talk to G chord)

I remember when papa finally did give up drinking. I think mama was the only one on

that really believed he could.

I remember a lot of times we packed up everything we owned and started out for some new

And through it all mama's faith was the one thing strong enough to finally do some good.

(Chorus) end.
