There's a voice missing in our little country choir
Rock of Ages will never sound the same
And all her singing heaven was not complete
Now mama's teaching angels how to sing

Mama's teaching angels how to sing
Heaven's always silent when mama sings
David lays down his harp and heaven's bells won't ring
When mama's teaching angels how to sing

The old home is empty, it's lonesome since she's gone
And it's hard to know she won't return again
But I'll meet her in the morning on heavens golden hills
Where mama's teaching angels how to sing

Mama's teaching angels how to sing
Heaven's always silent when mama sings
David lays down his harp and heaven's bells won't ring
When mama's teaching angels how to sing
