(Momma can't see me down here)

                  F                C
Momma always knew when I'd break a promise
                                       G7
She could see it when she looked in my face
    C                           F                C
And before she went to heaven I promised her I'd change
                       G7           C
But my life's become a shame and disgrace

  F                             C
I know that somewhere there's a heaven
                       A7                 D7   G7
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there
  F                          C
I hope there's a wall around heaven
               G7          C
So momma can't see me down here

                           F                       C
I know if she could see me how sad her heart would be
                                        G7
Cause I'm worse now than I've ever been before
    C                      F                     C
But momma I'm gonna change and I'll live for the Lord
                 G7                C
I'll meet you in heaven some sweet day

  F                             C
I know that somewhere there's a heaven
                       A7                 D7   G7
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there
  F                          C
I hope there's a wall around heaven
               G7          C
So momma can't see me down here
