AboutBeth Burgess Expertise I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.
Experience I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!
Education/Credentials I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)
Question As memory serves me there was a song being played in the very early 90's (possibly late 80's) sung by a male singer who told a story of his life and all bad things he would do. Part of the chorus said something like "......but Jesus and papa (I think) always loved me....". I listen to country all the time and I never have heard it played. Would you by chance know what song I'm referring to?
Answer Hi Sherry! The song I think you're looking for is "Jesus and Mama" by the Confederate Railroad. I've included the lyrics for you below. Also, I've included a link to a site where you can listen to the song. Hope this helps!
