I knew a place, when I was just a little boy
I use to go there, oh it was my pride and joy
I had no mom and dad babe, but I met her while I was a growing man
She told me son, you've got to sing, you sing from your soul little boy

And I called her (mama soul)
Yes I called her mama soul (mama soul)
It's what I call her now (mama soul)
Oh yeah

Well I love that place, the warm feeling in the air
I use to sit there, mama soul, little rocking chair
And then one day I asked her, why her skin wasn't the same as then
And know what she said,
She told me son, now that you're mine, just sing from your soul little boy

And I loved her (mama soul)
Yes I loved her mama soul (mama soul)
How I love her now (mama soul)
Oh mama soul

Well I'm your boy (mama soul)
Yes I'm your little boy (mama soul)
Ohhhh (mama soul)
Mama soul
