There's a voice missing in our little country choir
Rock of Ages will never sound the same
God heard her singing, Heaven was not complete
Now Mama's teaching angels how to sing

Mama's teaching angels how to sing
Heaven's halls are silent when Mama sings
David lays down his harp
And Heaven's bells won't ring
When Mama's teaching angels how to sing

The old home, its empty
It's lonesome she's gone
And it's hard to know she won't return again
Ah but I'll meet her in that morning
On Heaven's golden hill
Where Mama's teaching angels how to sing
