Momma Cried - Alison Krauss & Union Station

Momma loved us every one

Every daughter very son

She gave herself so happily

That's just the way she was you see

From dawn to dark she'd find a chore

And work it 'til it was no more

And every day until she died

In the evening Momma cried

Momma cried;

There was mourning in the evening

And Momma cried;

'Cos her little girl was gone

Her little girl was snatched away

She was there and then just gone one day

And Momma blamed herself I'd say

But all of us had debts to pay

Momma cried;

There was mourning in the evening

And Momma cried;

'Cos her little girl was gone

That day that something broke inside

I swore I'd find her and I tried

In the evening Momma cried

Momma cried;

There was mourning in the evening

And Momma cried;

'Cos her little girl was gone

Momma cried;

There was mourning in the evening

And Momma cried;

'Cos her little girl was gone
