Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done
Mama, oh Mama

And who's the one who patched your eye
And told you not to cry
Cause he was too big for you to try
Mama, Mama

And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the Little League
It was Mama, oh, Mama

And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over
She'd met someone older
Mama, Mama

It was Mama, my Mama
Mama, oh, Mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation
Then dedication, results graduation
Mama, Mama

And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone
Mama, Mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced your future bride
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle
The tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, Mama

Mama, my Mama
It was Mama
