Mama's Hands - Jerry Lee Lewis

My daddy’s hands held Three’s and Two’s while mom’s were holding me

And daddy’s hands lost everything to a hand of Kings and Three’s

And daddy’s hands they shook so bad that he turned to wine

But mama’s hands were strong and calm as they held on to mine

Yes mama’s hands held on to mine to guide me day and night

And it took the scheme of mama’s hands to teach me wrong from right

When times were bad and money’s slim she’d fold her hands in fray

Ands somehow she would make the food hold out another day

Now mama’s hands they tremble when she prays

But her voice is strong as she thanks God for the bygone days

She looks at me and then she smiles she knows I understand

That everything I am today I owe to mama’s hands

Everything I am today I owe to mama’s hands
