Intro: B E F# B E F#
B F# C#m
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
E F# B
With courage of just 18 years
B F# C#m
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
E F# B F# E
And Mama's good-bye in her ears
B F# C#m
She watched as her high school faded behind her
E F# B
And the house with the white picket fence
B F# C#m
Then she read the note that her Mama had wrote
E F#
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents
Chorus:
B F# G#m F# G#m
When you get lonely call me anytime at all
B F# G#m F# G#m
I'll be there with you always anywhere at all
D#m
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
E C#m
And money is never enough
E F#
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
E F# B
And all-a your Mama's love
B F# C#m
A penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
E F# B
Taped to an old wrinkled note
B F# C#m
And when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
E F#
Inside that old envelope
Chorus
G#m F# E
Oh, it's been years since Mama's been gone
G#m F# E F# G#m F#
But when she holds a coin she feels her love----just as strong
Chorus
C#m E
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
F# B
And all-a your Mama's love
