Alison Krauss - Momma Cried Lyrics

Momma loved us everyone
every daughter , every son
she gave herself so happily
that's just the way she was you see
from dawn 'till dark sh'e'd find a chore
and work it 'till it was no more
and every day untill she died
in the evening momma cried

Momma cried
there was morning in the evening
momma cried
'cause her little girl was gone

her little girl was snatched away
she was there and then just gone one day
and momma blammed herself i'd say
but all of us had debts to pay

Momma cried
there was morning in the evening
Momma cried
'cause her little girl was gone

(music break)

i did my best to cheer her pride
that day that something broke inside
i swore i'd find her and i'd try
in the evening momma cried

momma cried
there was morning in the evening
momma cried
'cause her little girl as gone
momma cried
there was morning in the evening
mommma cried
'cause her little girl was gone
