I Have An Aged Mother - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
Last night while I lay sleeping[00:00:18]
Last night while in a dream[00:00:22]
I saw my dear old mother[00:00:26]
Down by a rippling stream[00:00:31]
Don't ask me why I'm weeping[00:00:35]
Don't ask me why I pray[00:00:39]
For I've an aged mother[00:00:43]
Ten thousand miles away[00:00:48]
A letter here from sister dear[00:01:01]
Come home we're all alone[00:01:05]
Dear mother's slowly fading[00:01:09]
She can't be with us long[00:01:14]
Don't ask me why I'm weeping[00:01:18]
Don't ask me why I pray[00:01:22]
I've a dear old mother dying[00:01:26]
Ten thousand miles away[00:01:31]
Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay[00:01:36]
Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay[00:01:42]
Out in the cold world[00:01:49]
Long ways from home[00:01:53]
I'm drawing near the old home[00:01:59]
Dear sister's at the gate[00:02:03]
She's leading me through the doorway[00:02:07]
Oh brother you've come too late[00:02:11]
Oh lead me to the casket[00:02:15]
Throw back the linen so fine[00:02:20]
That I may kiss her pale white lips[00:02:24]
For I know they'll never kiss mine[00:02:28]
I see the pale moon shining[00:02:40]
On mother's white tombstone[00:02:45]
The rosebuds 'round them twining[00:02:49]
Are just like me alone[00:02:53]
Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay[00:02:57]
Well ah-le-ho le-ho-lay[00:03:03]
Out in the cold world[00:03:10]
Left all alone[00:03:14]
