Mother Went A-Walkin' (Remaster) - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]

Written by：Jim Reeves[00:00:01]

Shall we gather at the river that[00:00:02]

Flows by the throne of God[00:00:08]

The church doors opened one Sunday[00:00:15]

In a little country town[00:00:18]

The people all were silent[00:00:21]

In the rain that misted down[00:00:22]

And an old gray haired granddad[00:00:26]

His shoulders stooped with pain[00:00:28]

Was holdin' fast a little boy[00:00:31]

Who kept cryin' in the rain[00:00:33]

And in the dim candlelight[00:00:36]

Within a casket lay so still[00:00:38]

That soon would lie beneath the earth up at the top of the hill[00:00:42]

The little boy kept askin' in a low and plaintive tone[00:00:47]

What's wrong with mommy grandpa[00:00:53]

Won't she be comin' home[00:00:56]

It's awful lonesome grandpa[00:00:58]

Since daddy went away[00:01:00]

And mommy's all the reason[00:01:02]

Why I'm happy every day[00:01:04]

Wouldn't she feel better grandpa[00:01:07]

If I layed down by her side[00:01:09]

The old man turned and faced him[00:01:13]

And with these words replied[00:01:16]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:01:20]

Away up in the sky[00:01:24]

Along the brook that winds among[00:01:26]

The stars up there on high[00:01:28]

And down the valley where the sun[00:01:31]

Goes home at night to sleep[00:01:33]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:01:36]

She wouldn't want us to weep[00:01:39]

The boy didn't seem to understand just where his mom had gone[00:01:43]

He couldn't realize that now[00:01:48]

She wouldn't be comin' home[00:01:51]

He saw the rain on grandpa's face[00:01:54]

He didn't know he cried[00:01:57]

And of course he couldn't hear the words[00:01:59]

That grandpa said inside[00:02:02]

Mother went a walkin' son[00:02:07]

Up yonder in the sky[00:02:12]

And all that we can do down here son[00:02:14]

Is bow our heads and cry[00:02:17]

She's gone to meet your daddy son[00:02:21]

And take him by the hand[00:02:23]

Yes mother went a walkin' son in God's great meadowland[00:02:27]
