Wilkinsons
Miscellaneous
26 Cents
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
The courage of just eighteen years
A penny and quarter taped to a letter
And mamma's goodbye in her ears
She watched as her high-school faded behind her
And the house with the white picket fence
Then she read the note that her mamma had wrote
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents
CHORUS:
When you get lonely, call me, anytime at all
I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
And money is never enough
Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call
And all o' your mamma's love
A penny and quarter buys a whole lotta nothing
Taped to an old wrinkled note
But when she didn't have much, she had all mamma's love
Inside that old envelope
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh it's been years since mamma's been gone
But when she hold the coins she feels her love
Just as strong...
REPEAT CHORUS
Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call
And all o' your mamma's love
