To keep my Mom alive
Her cardboard sign says "Kool Aid" "Twenty five cents a glass"
She says I really need the money cos' my Momma's fading fast
If Momma don't get the help she needs she'll no longer be around
So if a quarter's just too much I can bring the price way down
Preacher man came by today to give Mom her last rites
And I overheard the doctor say "she won't make it through the night
So for my Mom I beg you please, It's the best Kool Aid around
But if a quarter's just too much I can bring the price way down
(chorus)
I'm doin' everything I can to keep my Mom alive
I built this stand with my two hands to help her to survive
My brother needs her just as much
Next week he's turning five
Help us Lord, Help me afford to keep my Mom alive
Mister thank you kindly, you're an angel from above
Pleae take my Momma's brownie, it was baked with all her love
I just kept it in my pocket to keep her mem'ry around
I love my Momma way too much to let them lay her in the ground
(chorus)
I'm doin' everything I can to keep my Mom alive
I built this stand with my two hands to help her to survive
My brother needs her just as much
Next week he's turning five
Help us Lord , help me afford to keep my Mom alive
Help us Lord, help me afford to keep my Mom alive.
