26 Cents - The Wilkinsons
Intro: 1 4/5 1 4/5
1 5 2m
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
4 5 1
With courage of just 18 years
1 5 2m
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
4 5 1 5/4
And Mama's good-bye in her ears
1 5 2m
She watched as her high school faded behind her
4 5 1
And the house with the white picket fence
1 5 2m
Then she read the note that her Mama had wrote
4 5
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents
1 5 6m 5 6m
Chorus: When you get lonely call me anytime at all
(Ooo.....)
1 5 6m 5 6m
I'll be there with you always anywhere at all
(Ooo......)
3m
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
4 2
And money is never enough
4 5
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
4 5 1
And all-a your Mama's love
1 5 2m
A penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
4 5 1
Taped to an old wrinkled note
1 5 2m
And when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
4 5
Inside that old envelope
Chorus
6m 5 4
Bridge: Oh, it's been years since Mama's been gone
6m 5 4 5 6m 5
But when she holds a coin she feels her love----just as strong
Chorus
2m 4
