Lyrics

Woah mama said girl
You better learn how to pray
Oh you got a soul
A soul to save
Girl you've been looking
For an education
Child you better fall on your knees
Before you fall in the wrong direction

Ooh many a trials I have known
Tryin' to give my children
A happy home
In times of trouble
And tears from worry
Woah I'm trying to keep my head held
Teach my feet not to be in such a hurry

Oh it was a cold February morn'
This Texas baby girl was born
I prayed for her soul
To sing a righteous song
And when my head grows cold Lord
Keep her in a light that's strong

Mama said girl
You better learn how to pray
Oh you got a soul
A soul to save
Child you been lookin'
For an education
