I was born and raised in a small town, seen a lot of hard times
Mama strived to feed us all, working for nickels and dimes
Daddy used to drink a lot, but he never treat us mean
But then he wasn't always there like Mama always been

She's a tailor by trade, and a mother by choice
She's always there to lend a hand and give you some good advice
She's the backbone of the family, give credit where it's due
Don't you cry over days gone by, Mama we love you

But Daddy's not a family man, guess I'll never understand
He loved us and we loved him, we just weren't in his plans
And even though he loved us, we just weren't in his plans
Mama tried to stay by his side to help him see it through
Then he chose the bottle, a true love that just won't do

She's a tailor by trade, and a mother by choice
She's always there to lend a hand and give you some good advice
She's the backbone of the family, give credit where it's due
Don't you cry over days gone by, Mama we love you

Through the years a million tears, I know she must have cried
Heartbreak and the sorrow she fought so hard to hide
When they lay her down to rest, I know that mama done her best
She'll find the gates of heaven with Jesus by her side

She's a tailor by trade, and a mother by choice
She's always there to lend a hand and give you some good advice
She's the backbone of the family, give credit where it's due
Don't you cry over days gone by, Mama we love you

Don't you cry over days gone by, Mama we love you
