In the summer in the evening momma and papa

The songs would tell a story
Em                     G
Of some heart that was broken
C                  D7         D7 G
Or sometimes she'd sing Uncle Pen

Em                       G
That would make me cry a little

How I wish I could hear one again

G               D7             Em              G
All that's left is a memory of a little wooden cabin
C               D7          G  D7
And two country graves side by side
G               D7                Em      Dm
But on a summer evening sometimes I start believing
C            D7               G
I hear momma singin' one more time
