I still hear her humming
Lay your head here my child
Come and sit for awhile
No more tears will there be
Say these words here with me
Alma Ree got down and she taught me to
Pray that night, pray that night, pray that night
I still hear her humming
Don't let my anger rise
Lord let my steps be light
Keep my hands steady Lord
Let my tongue be no sword
Alma Ree got down on her knees and
Prayed all night, prayed all night, prayed all night
I still hear her humming
When her body was tired
Alma Ree closed her eyes
Kept the faith, finished the race
With a smile on her face
Alma Ree layed down where she prayed and
Saw the light, saw the light, saw the light
I still hear her humming
Don't let my anger rise
Lord let my steps be light
Keep my hands steady Lord
Let my tongue be no sword
Keep my hands steady Lord
Let my tongue be no sword
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be
Let my tongue be"
