Mother No Longer Waits for Me |
One night while the moon from heaven was shining |
My mother was praying for me to come home |
She asked her dear lord watch o’er me out yonder |
To send me back home to never more roam. |
When I left my old home way back in the mountains |
I said I’d return with honor and fame |
But a young reckless heart turned wrong at the crossroads |
And now as I go home I bring mother shame. |
When I got to the place where I spent my childhood |
The silvery moon was shining so bright |
When I asked my dear friends to tell me of mother |
They said she was called on to heaven last night. |
She told them of how she was longing to see me |
How lonely her home since I went away |
Said darling repent and ask for forgiveness |
And meet mother there in heaven some day. |
Mother has gone to live with the angels |
Her soul is at rest around the great throne |
Now I have no one left here to advise me |
For mother no longer awaits me at home… |
