Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
She's good about resolving family drama
A friend, our guiding light
She's Daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives, Mama

The one that never sleeps 'til all's in bed
The one that never eats 'til all are fed
Her never ending love, her gentle caring touch
She never asks for much, Mama

Oh, Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Oh, Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel, Heaven knows, Mama

Mama, you will always be
The very core and heart of me
And even though you're gone
I see your love in everything
When I look in my children's eyes
It makes me think and realize
What you've done to enrich my life
I hope I can do the same

Oh, Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears
Oh, Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears
She irons and washes clothes
She cooks, she cleans, she sews
An angel, Heaven knows, Mama
A friend, our guiding light
She's Daddy's loving wife
A constant in our lives, Mama

An angel in our lives, sweet Mama
Oh, Mama, mmhmm
I love you, Mama

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
