I Dreamed About Mama Last Night chords by David Allan Coe
Verse 1
D
I've just been to heaven
G
D
with someone so true
Bm
A
I dreamed about
D
Mama last night
Bm
D
She read me the
G
D
Bible like she used to do
Bm
A
D
Bm
A
I dreamed about momma last night
D
Why she never closed her eyes to sleep
G
D
Bm
Until we were all in bed
A
And on party nights till we come home
D
Bm
A
Why she often sat up and read
D
Of course, we little thought about it then
G
D
Bm
When we were young and gay
A
Just how much
Mama worried
D
Bm
When we children were away
D
Why we only knew she never slept
G
D
A
When we were out late at night
And that she waited just to know
D
Bm
That we'd come home all right
D
Why, sometimes,
you know, when we'd stay away
G
D
Until one or two or three
A
It just seemed to us that
D
Mama heard the turning
Bm
of the key
D
For always when we stepped inside
G
She'd call us and we'd reply
D
A
But, of course, we were much too young back
D
Bm
D
then to understand the reason why.
And it seemed until the last one had returned,
G
D
she always kept a light.
A
Cause mama couldn't sleep until
D
Bm
A
she kissed us all goodnight
D
Why she had to know that we were safe
G
D
Bm
before she went to rest
A
And she seemed to fear that the world
D
Bm
A
might harm the ones she loved the best.
D
And once she said,
G
D
when you're grown to women and to men,
Bm
A
Why, perhaps I'll sleep the
whole night through
D
Bm
Things might be different then
D
And so it seems that night and day
G
D
We had a mother's care
A
And we knew whenever we got home that
D
Bm
we'd find mama waiting there.
D
G
And then came the night that we were
D
Bm
all called to gather around her bed.
A
Your children are all with you now,
D
Bm
D
the kindly doctor said.
And in her eyes there gleamed
G
D
again that old familiar light.
A
And as each one of us held her in our arms,
D
Bm
D
she kissed us all goodnight.
I'm gonna have to leave you soon,
she said
G
D
Now don't you weep
A
And once she knew that
we were saved
D
Mama went to sleep
Bm
A
D
G
I still see her smilin' wherever I
D
A
D
go I dreamed about momma last night
Bm
D
G
D
I know she is happy cause she told me so
Bm
A
D
I dreamed about mama last night
Bm
A
D
G
She read me the bible like she used to
D
A
G
do I dreamed about mama last night
D
