When Mama Sang

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

When Mama Sang (The Angels Stopped To Listen)
Danny Walls, Bob Warren
Performed by: George Jones

A D A
Mama didn't have special training
E
She couldn't read the music just the words
A D A
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday morning
E A
She had the sweetest voice I think I've ever heard

A D A
She loved to sing the songs about her Saviour
E
"There Is A Fountain" was her favorite one
A D A
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners
E A
By the time my mama's song was done

A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place

[Chorus]
A D A
You know my daddy wanted me to sang somethin' the day that mama left us
E
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends
A D A
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin'
E A
When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn

A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place

A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped.......to listen
