Waiting For My Child |
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 |
Could you please send me a letter |
A letter would mean so much to me |
Oh my child may be somewhere |
On his sick bed |
With no one there to rub his aching head |
Oh my child may be somewhere |
In some lonely jail |
With no one there to go his bail |
If I only knew what town my child was in |
I’ll be there on that early morning train |
And no matter what’s crime |
Lord you know that this child is mine |
That’s why I’d be waiting for my child to come home |
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come |
I am waiting, waiting for my child to come |
If he can’t come home |
Could he please send me a letter |
A letter would mean so much to me |
I am waiting, waiting |
I am waiting and waiting |
I am waiting for my child to come home |
