Nah nah nah nah?

At mama's funeral, organs didn't play


But you could hear the lonesome sway


Of the local guitar man

He played Hank Williams songs


We all did 'Farther Along'


The boys drank beer out by the barn

At mama's funeral


Oh the birds showed up to sing


As we gathered round the ole porch swing

Where her feet had worn the paint off the boards


And her pillow sat all faded and torn


Her children all took turns

Trying to find the words


Just wantin to say something right


Bout the best friend they'd found in life

And explain it to the nurses that came from the hospital


To mama's funeral


It was surprising to me, thought it'd be as hard as it could be

But everybody took a little piece of pain


And they spread it round like summer rain


And it helped to ease the load

More than I could've known


At mama's funeral


And my family made me proud

Cause when the cryin got loud


The laughter followed close behind


Daddy'd say ?now don't all remember the time??

Tables set up all over the place


Covered with pictures, candles and lace


The Quik Sack stayed open late

Sold out of all their cups and paper plates


To the strangers that gathered up on the hill


For mama's funeral

All the pretty flowers planted by her hands


Her guitar in a corner sittin on a stand


Nah nah nah nah?
