"Mama's Words" is one of my older songs which folks often request, and I play it at many shows. It's about all the lessons our mamas teach us and how we still hear their words for the rest of our lives ... and pass them on to our children too. The song is on two of my albums: "The Old International" and "LIVE from the Winter Folk Festival 2009"

My phenomenally talented sister Elizabeth Boling has illustrated this pocket-sized book of the lyrics. The books are in stock now and we'd be delighted to send you a copy. I LOVE it and sure hope y'all will too!

And you can listen to the song right now at this link.  And you can buy a digital download of the song through iTunes here.
