Momma Cried Alison Krauss & Union Station

[Verse 1]
Momma loved us, every one
Every daughter, every 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

[Chorus]
Momma cried;
There was mourning in the evening
Momma cried;
'Cause her little girl was gone

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Momma cried;
There was mourning in the evening
Momma cried;
'Cause her little girl was gone
