George Jones When Mama Sang (The Angels Stopped to Listen) lyrics

Mama didn't have special trainin'
She couldn't read the music, just the words
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday mornin'
She had the sweetest voice I think I've, I've ever heard

She loved to sing the songs about our Savior
"There is a Fountain," was her favorite one
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners
By the time my mama's song was done

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in Heaven's choir she has a special place


You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song
The day that mama left us
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin'
When I couldn't finish her, her favorite hymn

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shining in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in Heaven's choir she has a special place

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
