From the recording Blood Like Wine
Lyrics
Momma came to me one day
and she sat me down at the table, yeah
She said son if there's any thing you need to know
it's all in the Bible
The word is more precious than silver,
wisdom more valuable than gold
It wasn't long after that
and momma she passed away
and like an angel voice from heaven
I can still hear her say
The word is more precious than silver,
wisdom more valuable than gold
The word is more precious than silver,
wisdom more valuable than gold
Then finally one day
I came to the end of myself
and I realized she was telling me the truth
at the table
The word is more precious than silver,
wisdom more valuable than gold
The word is more precious than silver,
wisdom more valuable than gold
more valuable than gold, you were right momma...
