Momma loved us, every one Every daughter, every son She gave herself so happily That's just the way she was, you see  From dawn to dark she'd find a chore And work it 'til it was no more And every day until she died In the evening, momma cried  Momma cried There was mourning in the evening And 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 blamed herself, I'd say But all of us had debts to pay  Momma cried There was mourning in the evening And momma cried 'Cause her little girl was gone  I did my best to cheer her pride That day that something broke inside I swore I'd find her and I tried In the evening, momma cried  Momma cried There was mourning in the evening And momma cried 'Cause her little girl was gone  Momma cried There was mourning in the evening And momma cried 'Cause her little girl was gone
