Mama's Dancing (c) 1987 words and music by Mike Dunbar

V.
Mama kept us clothed and fed my brother Jim and me,
By typing forty hours for a big food company,
She used to be a dancer but she had to quit her dream,
To raise her children.

V.
She danced for the soldiers back in 1944,
Sometimes makin' breakfast she danced across the kitchen floor,
But daddy left so mama didn't dance much any more,
She raised her children.

Chorus
If I could dance,
I'd dance the years away,
If I could dance,
I'd dance the tears away,
But I can only sing,
So I'll sing this song for her,
'Cause as long as I keep singing,
Mama's Dancing.

V.
It's been many years now since Mama passed away,
Though I can see her dancing still like it was yesterday,
She looked like Ginger Rogers but she gave it all away,
To raise her children.

Chorus

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
