Mama Courtney Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DI remember as a baby barely one Gyear old

When I Dfirst met Mama Courtney with her Aheart of gold

I dDidn’t know away back then Ghow she’d influence me

And I Dthank Mama Courtney for the Aman I grew to Dbe

DMy mother lost her way in life Mama GCourtney took me in

She became Dmy foster Mother and Amy best friend

She’d Ddrive us kids around the town in a Gbig black ghost mobile

To this Dday I still remember how Agood she made us Dfeel

Chorus

There are Gmany children in this world who Dsuffer hurt and shame

I thank Gall the Mama Courtney’s who Dtook away their Apain

God Dworks in mysterious ways I beGlieve this is true

Though she Dhad no children of her own she Afostered 3D2

DBlackie was her husband he Gdrove a pick-up truck

He Dworked at the power station to Aearn an honest buck

At Dweekends he go hunting Asquirrels up in Arkinsaw

D

And every night when he tAucked us in we wouDld call him Pa

DUs kids are all now grown up and Ggone our separate ways

I look Dback on my childhood with Amany happy days

And when DI go back to Sri-Port I place Gflowers on her grave

And I Dthank Mama Courtney for all Aus kids that she Dsaved

Repeat Chorus X 2
