Lyrics
(Am)Ma ma, who bore me,
(G)Ma ma, who gave me
no way to han dle things, who made me so sad.
(Am)Ma ma, the weep ing,
(G)Ma ma, the an gels.
No sleep in Heav en or Beth
le hem.
Some (F)pray that one day
Christ will come a’ call ing.
They light a can dle
and (Asus)hope that it glows.
And some just lie there, cry ing for (Dsus)Him to come and find them.
But (F)when He comes, they don’t know how to go.
Ma ma, who bore me,
(G)Ma ma, who gave me
no way to han dle things, who made me so bad.
(A)Ma ma, the weep ing,
(G)Ma ma, the an gels.
No sleep in Heav en
or Beth
le hem.
