Verse 1 I remember at home round the fireplace Someone would hum a lonely tune The rest of us would join the singing As Mama's alto voice filled the room
Chorus Oh I'll sing a new song up in heaven At that great meeting in the air I can my little mama singing alto When we all get together over there
Verse 2 My daddy wasn't much of a singer In fact he couldn't even carry a tune But when mama started singing her alto My old daddy's foot stomping filled the room
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3 Now I know when we all get to heaven We can have anything our heart desires I believe my old daddy wants a singing voice So he can sing with mama in the choir
Chorus 2 And they'll sing a new song up in heaven At that great meeting in the air I can hear my little mama singing alto When we all get together over there
Tag I can hear my little mama singing alto When we all get together over there
