Mama's Hand - Hazel Dickens

Another year and I’m still here

The grass just will not grow on this old hill

Still I just can’t let it go, I don’t believe it’s

â€~Cause I’m cold or partial to the crazy life I’m caught in

Sometimes I feel the hand of time

Moving like its body was broke

It’s then I miss your sighs

And the tender words you spoke

Hey, that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together

Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand

Babe, I promise not to throw you

You don’t have to stay, I just want to hold you

Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand

Another year is dead and gone

The sun don’t want to shine on this old hill

Or anything that’s mine

I don’t believe it hurts to grow

Even when the crop you sow is a failure

Sometimes I wish I had no pride

I’d go off and sell my soul

How do you say goodbye

To the only truth you’ve known

Hey, that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together

Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand

Baby, baby, I promise not to throw you

You don’t have to stay, I just want to hold you

Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand

Oh babe, honey everybody makes mistakes

We feel a lot of life that way

Don’t you think by now I know that?

Look it’s brought us both back

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind

While the moon and the clouds start spinning

Will you whisper my name again?

Again and again, oh again

Hey that’s okay, come on around and get yourself together

Won’t you come on around and hold an old friend’s hand

Around and around with you I’ve been

(Hold an old friend’s)

Flat on the ground and up again

(Hold an old friend’s hand)

Nobody knows for sure just when everything changes

(Won't you whisper my name again)

Again and again, oh again
