I'm singin' it, mama
This one's for you
Mama, this one was written for you, mom
For everything ya done

I'm not much at cards and letters
Calling on the phone
Livin' where I do, it ain't so easy
For Jerry Lee to get to back home

I'm a singin' it, mama
Oh, this one's for you
Mama (mama)
I put my feelings in this song
So you could sing a long

Ya always like the sound of banjos
A-rinky-tinking of an old piano
Mama (mama) this one's for you

Oh, I'm singing for you, mama
This one's for you
Hey, mama (mama)
My mother's love in every single phrase

And every note they I play
You've got a weakness for harmony
A song that's got a pretty melody
So mama (mama) this one's for you
Hey, mama!
This one's for you

[Spoken:]
I love you, mama
