Lyrics
When our mother left this world
She left two little sons
I was almost eight years old
But Bubba was only one
I could hear our daddy pray each night
As he looks up in the sky
Please watch over me and my boys
And help Bubba not to cry
Bubba please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Daddy's here with us
And mama's with Jesus tonight
Sometimes things happen
That we just don't understand
Bubba please don't cry
You're daddy's little man
Mama was working hard
Trying to help make us a living
She was laughing and loving
She was always forgiving
Then the angels came for her
Before we could say goodbye
Every night I can hear her whisper
Bubba please don't cry
Bubba please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Daddy's here with us
And mama's with Jesus tonight
Sometimes things happen
That we just don't understand
Bubba please don't cry
You're daddy's little man
Bubba please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Daddy's here with us
And mama's with Jesus tonight
Sometimes things happen
That we just don't understand
Bubba please don't cry
You're daddy's little man
