Start With Amazing Grace
Well it was 1930, years ago
Papa came home said it's time go
Gotta leave the farm and the bills I just can't pay
Times were hard, times were tough
But every time we didn't have enough
Mama would look at my big sister and say
Well come on Melody you take the harmony
Papa sing lead, Bubba sing bass
Gonna sing us a song like nothin' is wrong
Hey why don't we start with Amazing Grace
Well the years roll by, before you know
Papa's gettin' grey and Mama's gettin' old
Both of them spendin' most of their time in bed
One day Doc said Mama you're sick
Got anything to do better get it done quick
Mama said Doc I want my family here
She said come on Melody you take the harmony
Papa sing lead, Bubba sing bass
Gonna sing us a song like nothin' is wrong
Hey why don't we start with Amazing Grace
Well it's been years since Mama's been gone
Still I tell my boys
In that great reunion in the sky
She'll say with an angel's voice
Well come on Melody you take the harmony
Papa sing lead, Bubba sing bass
Gonna sing us a song at the foot of the throne
Hey why don't we start with Amazing Grace
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
