Waiting For My Child To Come Home |
| I was talking to a lady a few days ago |
| and these are the words she said |
| if you see my child somewhere as you journey here and there |
| tell him I’m waiting for my child to come home. |
| I am waiting and waiting for my child to come |
| I’m waiting and waiting for my child to come |
| if you can’t come home will you please send me a letter |
| a letter would mean so much to me, yes it will |
| Lord my child may be somewhere on his sick bed Lord |
| with no one there to rub his aching head… Oh yes Jesus |
| Lord my child is somewhere in some lonely jail |
| Lord with no one there to post his bail, oh Lord |
| listen if I only knew what town my child was in |
| I’ll be there on that early morning train |
| then no matter what’s crime Lord you know this child is mine |
| and I’m waiting for my child to come home. |
