Lyrics:
It rained all the way to Cincinnati With our mattress on top of the car Us kids were eatin' crackers and baloney And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bar. Then mama started talkin' about Jesus And how our lives could be from now on While papa bought a used tire in Columbus Mama rocked the baby till all his tears were gone. She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids Forget it The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord Won't let it Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me. I guess we should have known papa never could quit Drinking The whiskey had too much hold on him nut he loved us and He did the best he could And everytime the world would fall all around us Mama packed everything we owned into some old car and Started out for some new town. She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids Forget it The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord Won't let it Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me...
