[Intro]
I had a dream one night
I dreamed I went home
To live with Jesus
And when I got there
One of the first things that I saw was Momma's face
I began to sing a song that I never sung in my life
And my song said

[Chorus]
Hello Mother (Hello Mother)
I done made it over (I made it over)
Hello Mother (Hello Mother)
I done made it over (I made it over)
And I don' t know about you but sometimes (I had to cry)
But he wiped the tears (Tears from my eyes)
Yes He did y'all
And I made it (I made it over)
And I'm alright now (Alright now)
One more time

Hello mother (Hello Mother)
I done made it over (I made it over)
You know what, I got mistreated sometimes (Hello Mother)
That's alright, still I made it over (I made it over)
I don't know about ya'll but sometime (I had to cry)
I said sometime (I had to cry)
Is there anybody here? (I had to cry)
Ever have to cry sometime (I had to cry)
Sometime enemies (I had to cry)
How many of y'all out there got enemies? (I had to cry)
Sometime enemies (I had to cry)
Went all the way 'round me (I had to cry)
But I kept on singing (I had to cry)
Kept on praying (I had to cry)
Kept on praying (I had to cry)
(I had to cry)
(Ad-libs)
I wanna ask you something (I had to cry)
How many of y'all ever have to cry sometime (I had to cry)
Won't your family make you cry sometime (I had to cry)
Won't your children make you cry sometime (I had to cry)
You buy 'em some Reeboks (I had to cry)
And they want some Nikes (I had to cry)
Ain't that all right (I had to cry)
(I had to cry)
Shh well

[Instrumental]
Y'all act like you don't hear nothing but know y'all hear

[Ad-libs]
Oooh (I had to cry)
I wanna ask y'all something (I had to cry)
I wanna ask y'all just one something (I had to cry)
Is there anybody here?
Don't try to fool me (I had to cry)
Is there anybody here? (I had to cry)
Ever laid awake at night
Don't fool me now
Couldn't sleep to save your life (I had to cry)
Tossing and turnin' (I had to cry)
Tossing and turnin' (I had to cry)
How many of y'all ever ease out of the bed (I had to cry)
And got down on your knees (I had to cry)
And said fix it Jesus (I had to cry)
Let me ask y'all something tonight
Won't God fix it tonight (I had to cry)
Won't God fix it tonight
Won't God fix it tonight (I had to cry)
And only God
[Outro]
He wiped the tears (Tears from my eyes)
Yes He did y'all
I made it y'all, one more time (I made it over)
I made it (I made it over)
And I'm alright now (I'm alright now)
