Mammy Gas’s old age is showing

Her steps unsteady, trembling fingers

I look at her; it’s difficult knowing

Very little strength within her lingers

 

Her steps unsteady, trembling fingers

Too stubborn to admit she’s getting weak

Very little strength within her lingers

Apparent by her frail physique

 

Too stubborn to admit she’s getting weak

Alzheimer’s is taking her mind away

Apparent by her frail physique

The rambling thoughts she tends to say

 

Alzheimer’s is taking her mind away

Explosions of anger, nonstop praying

The rambling thoughts she tends to say

She’s so confused; it’s very dismaying

 

Explosions of anger, nonstop praying

I look at her; it’s difficult knowing

She’s so confused; it’s very dismaying

Mammy Gas’s old age is showing
