| Oft' my thoughts drift back to childhood
|
| To the time when I was free
|
| As I played before the fireside
|
| 'Round my darling mother’s knee
|
| There’s a blessed home up yonder
|
| Where my loved ones wait for me
|
| I saw mother in a vision
|
| Kneeling there to pray for me
|
| Then one day our mother left us
|
| Daddy said she’d gone to rest
|
| I remember how she loved me
|
| As she clutched me to her breast
|
| There’s a blessed home up yonder
|
| Where my loved ones wait for me
|
| I saw mother in a vision
|
| Kneeling there to pray for me
|
| Some sweet day I’ll meet you mother
|
| Your little boy is commin' home
|
| To see you as in days of childhood
|
| The one you loved and left alone
|
| There’s a blessed home up yonder
|
| Where my loved ones wait for me
|
| I saw Mother in a vision
|
| Kneeling there to pray for me… |
