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 |
