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
